Abstract: In this seminar it is aimed at presenting a clear idea about the basics of wind energy and the aerodynamics behind the design of wind turbine blades.
Fundamentals of Wind Turbines • Wind Power: Conversion of wind energy into a useful form of energy. ex. wind turbine, wind mills, wind pumps • Wind turbine: A wind turbine is a device that converts kinetic energy from the wind into electrical power.
Fundamentals of Wind Turbines[1] 1. Foundation 2. To electric grid 3. Tower 4. Access ladder 5. Yaw Control 6. Nacelle 7. Generator 8. Anemometer 9. Brake 10. Gearbox 11. Rotor blade 12. Pitch control 13. Rotor Hub
Types of Wind Energy Conversion Devices[2] 1. Horizontal Axis i. Dutch Windmill ii. Multiblade water pumping windmills iii. High speed propeller type windmills 2. Vertical Axis i. The savonius rotor ii. The darrieus rotor iii. Giromill
Importance of Wind Energy 1. A country will become more self-sufficient by using alternatives such as wind power. 2. No CO₂ emissions 3. Creates jobs. 4. Can be used for charging batteries or can be combined with a diesel engine to save fuel
Importance of Wind Energy Cumulative wind power addition from 1996 – 2013.[3]
Importance of Wind Energy Annual wind power addition from 1996 – 2013[3]
Aerodynamics of Wind Turbine Blades[4] 1. Aerofoil structure 2. Long and slender blades 3. The span wise velocity component is much lower than the stream wise component 4. Hence it is assumed that the flow at a given radial position is 2-D and that 2-D aerofoil data can be applied.

Conclusion: 1. Wind energy is gaining importance all over the world and it is important to study the technology behind it so that one can be able to harness more power from wind energy. 2. Countries like India should involve in R&D projects related to it and should generate more power from wind energy so that the dependence on coal will be reduced which reduces the import of coal.
