Simulation helps the design of one of the world's highest-efficiency permanent magnet wind turbine generators. The wind turbine would convert wind to energy without any moving parts. I have a question about a 3 blade wind turbines design. The wind turbine design is something which is increasingly worked upon to suit the needs and improve the production of energy released from using them. Multi-megawatt wind turbines aim for a low nacelle head weight and a minimum cabling effort between the generator, converters and transformer. Any mechanical moving parts, at least: California's San Onofre nuclear plant gets final death blow. Visually it seems like most of the weight in the blades are located closer to the generator. The Skystream 3.7 has an improved design that allows it to perform at lower wind speeds. The state-of-the-art facility has been specifically designed for full-scale testing of large nacelles. Have they placed greater weight near the outer tips of the blades? It may look like a giant airplane window strung with Venetian blinds, but this structure, designed by Dutch architecture firm Mecanoo and installed at the Delft University of Technology in March, is a model of a machine that would convert wind to energy without any moving parts. Simulation aids design of wind turbine generators. Advances in residential turbines make them more affordable and easier to use than ever. The more random power generators that get plugged into the grid by legal mandates of NET METERING, the more difficult load management will be. Jon Vaquerizo and Xabier Calvo report.
