#WIND TURBINE DESIGN SOFTWARE SOFTWARE#

With wind energy however, developing offshore wind turbines fit for tackling the substantially higher wind speeds accessible offshore while avoiding the issues of horizon and noise pollution is the way to go. Solar energy is becoming more dominant especially in the Arab world where their massive deserts have already seen investigations into the possibility of generating solar energy with enough capacity to power entire countries. It is obvious that wind and solar energy studies will be the center of future renewable engineering efforts. Furthermore, research suggests that solar and wind energy are currently the most likely to provide economically affordable alternate energy sources, because other renewable energy sources like tidal remain costly and inefficient. Nevertheless, there is an expectation that renewable energy sources will play a wider role over the next two decades in energy with wind energy projected to contribute 1.1В trillionВ kilowatt-hours (kWh) of a total of close to 4В trillionВ kWh of renewable energy expected to be generated by year 2030. This model therefore demonstrates that wind energy could be extracted in the region even at varying wind speed.Дemand for renewable energy has been increasingly justified over the last couple of years as world powers turn to clean, green energy while overdependence on fossil fuel generation is still prominent in developing countries. The system simulation was tested and worked satisfactorily, with different wind speed giving proportionate mechanical torque and turbine speed.

Wind speed data from Ogoja community in southern part of Nigeria was used to test the simulation performance. The Squirrel Case Induction Generator, horizontal axis wind turbine system with complexities of all three parts of the wind turbine model were analyzed using the mathematical equations, with each block modeled and designed separately, then all three blocks joined together to give the complete unit. The system is designed by modeling differential equations for each block and then simulated in SIMULINK environment. The wind turbine system is made up of three parts or subsystems namely the aerodynamic, mechanical and electrical blocks.

The mix of commercial and proprietary software will provide a complete assessment and optimization of the wind turbine through detailed dynamic and static analysis of key component functions for their efficiency and design life.This research demonstrates a model of a wind energy conversion system that operates at different wind speed, with results simulated in MATLAB SIMULINK. MASTAвЂ™s reliable analysis techniques can improve the power, performance, reliability, and cost effectiveness of wind turbines. Designers & engineers can use MASTA to rapidly predict key transmission performance characteristics and to identify any design faults or weaknesses before any manufacturing is started, saving both time and money. At the core of many of the solutions offered by SMT is MASTA, our fully integrated software tool for the complete design, analysis and optimization of transmission systems. Increasing component reliability to achieve 20% wind energy will require advancements in component design, materials, and testing methods to validate wind-turbine components in the harshest environments. Wind turbine technology has developed rapidly in recent years.
