renewable energy future.

(6.2) SCIENTIFIC BASIS/THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK/MATHEMATICAL THEORY INVOLVED

Power generation in wind turbines is based on aerodynamic principles that describe the behavior of air
currents around objects such as aircraft. B. Wind turbine blades. Wind turbine blades are designed to capture
kinetic energy from the wind and convert it into rotational energy, which is converted into electrical energy
using a generator. A wind turbine's efficiency in generating electricity depends on many factors such as wind
speed, wind direction and blade design. Understanding the scientific principles behind airflow behavior is
critical to optimizing wind turbine design and performance.

Fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and control systems are usually used in the analysis of windmill electricity
generation. In motion, the behavior of fluids like air is described by the field of fluid mechanics. Utilizing this
framework, wind flow behavior around wind turbine blades is analyzed, and the design of the blades is
optimized for maximum energy capture. The efficiency of energy conversion processes in wind turbines, such
as the conversion of rotational energy to electrical energy, is examined using thermodynamics. By adjusting the
blade pitch angle, rotor speed, and other variables based on the current wind conditions, control systems are
used to maximize the performance of wind turbines.

The behavior of wind flow around wind turbine blades is modeled using the equations of motion, which
describe the behavior of fluids in motion. Numerical techniques, such as computational fluid dynamics, are
used to solve these equations in order to optimize the design of the blades for maximum energy absorption.
The Betz limit, which denotes the maximum theoretical efficiency of a wind turbine, is one example of how
mathematical theory is used to model the effectiveness of energy conversion processes in wind turbines.
Control systems that optimize the performance of wind turbines based on current wind conditions are
designed using control theory. In order to maximize energy capture and reduce waste, feedback control
systems are used, which modify the rotor speed, blade pitch angle, and other parameters.

(6.3) OBJECTIVES
1. To assess the effectiveness of wind turbines in producing electricity and to pinpoint areas for improvement.
For this goal, a thorough analysis of the technical and financial viability of windmill electricity generation,
including the design and efficiency of wind turbines, the effect of wind conditions on electricity generation, and
the maintenance and operational costs of wind turbines, must be carried out.
2. To look into how robotics technology might be used to optimize windmill performance and lower
maintenance costs. Investigating the use of robotics technology, such as drones and autonomous robots, in
windmill monitoring, maintenance, and control is part of this objective. A part of the goal will be to assess
whether using robotics technology to generate electricity from windmills is technically and economically
feasible.
3. To make suggestions for the use of robotics technology and windmill electricity generation in renewable
energy systems. This goal entails putting recommendations for decision-makers, academics, and business
leaders together from the research project's findings. The recommendations will be based on the viability of
producing electricity from wind turbines from an economic and technical standpoint as well as the potential of
robotics technology to improve wind turbine performance and lower maintenance costs.
(7) REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
In order to increase performance, Musial et al. (2016) studied how to optimize the yaw control of wind
turbines. The study's findings showed that optimizing the yaw control of wind turbines could increase their
ability to capture energy, lessen the stress on the turbine, and hence increase its lifespan.

Balta-Ozkan et al. (2014) examined the social and environmental effects of wind energy and suggested
methods for integrating it sustainably into society. The researchers discovered that while wind power has the
potential to lower greenhouse gas emissions and provide energy security, its implementation should take into
account the requirements and engagement of the local population.

Wu et al. (2016) reviewed wind turbine blade design optimization methods. The researchers discovered that
optimization approaches can considerably increase the aerodynamic performance and decrease wind turbine
blade noise, but the optimization process must take into account numerous design limitations and variables.

Gao et al. (2017) reviewed wind turbine condition monitoring and problem diagnosis systems. The researchers
discovered that condition monitoring and fault diagnosis might increase wind turbine reliability and lower
maintenance costs, but choosing the right monitoring techniques required taking into account the particular
operating conditions and wind turbine system.

Chen and Li (2016) examined the integration of energy storage and renewable energy sources in the smart grid.
The study's findings show that energy storage systems can strengthen the stability and dependability of the
power grid by balancing the intermittent production of wind power. To achieve optimal performance and
financial viability, the integration of renewable energy and energy storage systems necessitates meticulous
planning and coordination.
