Feature
The system’s generation of electricity will be using a generator with
a 500W ability in producing electricity. The designed generator will be
composed of 18 slots and 12 poles rotor with an expected rotation speed
of 500 rpm. The energy produced will be stored in 12V lithium-ion
batteries. As an energy conversion unit, the Permanent Magnet
Synchronous Generator (PMSG) was planned for small-scale and low-
speed wind power generation. The following are the specifications for
the PMSG that was created: 500 W, three phases, 18 slots, 12 poles, and
500 rpm rotational speed.
Purpose
As an energy harvesting structure, it is expected to harness enough
wind energy to power street lights and other road lights in the
municipality. As mentioned, the municipality is a great candidate for
this project as their terrain exemplifies potentials of wind energy. With
most of the roadways and main roads facing the sea. Having this
structure means accidents will be prevented because of the proper
illumination and that safety and security of travelers as well as the
communities living are guaranteed.
Relation to Fluid
Mechanics
The designed wind turbine is a type of machine
that converts the kinetic energy of fluids into
mechanical energy via a specified mechanism.
The turbine is made up of four blades that are
attached to an axle that is used to drive a
generator. The turbine's fundamental operation is
that the flowing fluid such as steam, water, and
gas such as air spins the turbine's blades, which in
turn rotates the axle, which is linked to a device
that uses the rotational energy for the production
of electrical energy.
