ABSTRACT

Wind energy conversion is one of those abundant resources that can provide bulk power generation. This chapter dis total power output of aerogenerators farm comprising a number of wind turbines separated by a certain distance, with each aerogenerator associated with a certain power output variance as well as a total variance for the entire farm system. It presents the concept of a wind-driven turbine generator systematically and gradually from the basic character of wind velocity, the annual turbine rotor speed, rotor orientation, and height, as well as the annual average wind speed. On a wind turbine or aerogenerator, the blades are designed to produce a transverse force to rotate them around a central shaft delivering a shaft power output. Integration of wind turbine into a power system involves the tools of interconnection, environmental acceptability, and safety and engineering economics.
