FYP: DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF VERTICAL AXIS
WIND TURBINE AS MICRO POWER GENERATOR
Project Scope Management:
In project management, scope is the defined features and functions of a product, or the
scope of work needed to finish a project. Scope involves getting information required
to start a project, including the features the product needs to meet its stakeholders'
requirements.

1. Project Scope:
PROJECT OBJECTIVE
To construct a small scale H Type Darius Vertical Axis Wind Turbine using the
blades of Alouette Helicopter for micro power generator within 9 months at not to
exceed 40 thousands rupees.
DELIVERABLES
 Design of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine on Q blade software
 3 D model on CREO Parametric.
 To achieve power of 15 W on Matlab
 3 bladed wind turbine having rotor of radius of 0.5 m.
 Pulleys and belts system for electricity generation
MILESTONES
 Planning and market visit___20 November 2021
 Literature Review ____1 December 2021
 MATLAB Code and Q blade Stimulation____15 January 2022
 CAD Modelling____20 February 2022
 Fabrication and Assembly ____ 30 April 2022
 Testing ____ 30 May 2022
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
 Motor capacity of 15 W for electric power generation.
 203 mm aluminum pulley and 50 mm steel pulley to transfer torque.
 Cube base of length 457.2 mm angle Iron as a base.
 Steel guy wires to be attached to prevent vibration and topper over in the shaft.
 Thrust bearing 25 mm ID and 52 mm OD to transfer the weight of rotating
shaft onto the stationary shaft.
 Nuts and bolts of 12.7 mm for joining blades on rotor.
 Mild steel stationary shaft of 1524 length and 76.2 diameter for supporting the
weigth of rotor.
 Galvanized iron rotating steel 2133 length and 19.04 diameter for transfering
torque from rotor to motor.
 NACA 0021 of 140 mm chord length of tail rotor of Aloutte Helicopter.
LIMITS AND EXCLUSIONS
 Limiting speed of bearing is 13 thousand rpm with the basis dynamic load
rating of 13.2 KN and fatigue load limit of 3.45 KN.
 Design for the wind speed of 4.5 m/s and above.
 Simulations and calculations do not account for wake expansion and yaw.
 BEMT does not account for tip losses, though correction factors are included
but they do not achieve exact results.
 Calculations are based on steady flow and they do not account for turbulence.
 This project is based on assumption that flow is inviscid and incompressible.

Schedule Management
A document that contains the details how a project's schedule will be created,
implemented, managed, and monitored. Typically, a schedule management plan
includes information about the scheduling methodology that will guide the project and
any relevant information about scheduling tools or processes.
