Feasibility study on a low power vertical axis wind-powered generator. Technical report

TL;DRAbstract

Described are investigations carried out to establish a design concept for a 1 kW wind-powered generator suitable for use as an alternative power source in isolated locations. Design criteria include high power to weight ratio, simplicity of assembly and potential for fixed, mobile or portable applications. The report proposes a suitable configuration using a Darrieus straight blade rotor with a microprocessor based control system and provides information on the power output to be expected in different wind environments.
