Energy Conversion in a Wind Power Plant

Energy Conversion in a Wind Power Plant .

Specification Of Energy Conversion in a Wind Power Plan

• Converting kinetic wind energy into electrical energy
• Laboratory-scale wind power plant, stand-alone operation
• Axial fan with continuously variable speed (wind velocity)
• Flow straightener for consistent wind conditions
• Generator for converting the kinetic energy into electrical energy
• Accumulator for storing the electrical energy
• Two bulbs as electrical load (consumers)
• Measurement of wind velocity in front of and behind the rotor
• Measurement of rotational speed of the rotor
• Measurement of current and voltage
• Digital displays for the measured values
