CFD ANALYSIS AND FABRICATION OF BLADE OF A HORIZONTAL AXIS WIND TURBINE USING DIFFERENT

We know that there is enough wind globally to satisfy much, or even most, of human energy requirements ? if it could be harvested effec tively and on a large scale. Horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) are as efficient as vertical axis systems. They might be practical, simpler, significantly easy to build and maintain. Horizontal - axis wind turbines (HAWT) have the main rotor shaft and ele ctrical generator at the top of a tower, and must be pointed into the wind. Major drawbacks are pulsatory torque that can be produced during each revolution and the huge bending moments on the blades. In this project I attempted to design and fabricate a H orizontal Axis Wind Turbine Blades with different materials and measured the performance coefficient under various conditions. Such as Distance between Blower and setup stand Vs RPM of the shaft by using heaters, Distance between Blower and setup stand Vs RPM of the shaft without heaters, RPM Vs Co - efficient of power.
