ABSTRACT
Design and construction of the Gedser mill are based on the results attained by experiments and the experience gained during the research work and from the experimental plants at Vester Egesborg and on the island of Bogo. On the basis of the experiments with the Vester Egesborg mill, a DC wind power plant on the island of Bogo, built by the firm of F. L. Smidth & Co., was reconstructed for AC production. In the Gedser mill, a measurement cylinder is placed between the tower and machine cabin. The pressure of the wind and the mechanical strains on the blades depend on the speed of the blades in relation to that of the wind. In order to determine the amount of wind energy and the seasons of its occurrence, automatically recording anemometers were mounted in various places in Denmark.
