Introduction
Wind turbines are electricity generating plants which harness kinetic energy of the wind into electric
power. Operation principle basically depends on the wind as the prime mover, rotating turbine
blades that are coupled to the generation via gear chain. Essential parts of the turbine includes rotor
blades, brakes, controller, generator, gearbox, low and high speed shaft, nacelle and the pitch.
Rotor blades.
They are used to harness wind power by converting velocity of the wind into mechanical rotation of
the rotor shaft coupled.
Breaks.
Stops the rotor from rotating in case of emergencies.
Controller.
It is used to start up wind power system when the speed of the wind is within the perquisite range. It
also stops turbine system from operating when the wind speed is way up the standard limit.
Gearbox.
The gearbox is the interface between low speed shaft and high speed shaft. The low speed shaft is
connected to the rotor blades while the high speed shaft is connected to the rotor shaft of the
generator. Ultimate function of the gearbox is to multiple low speed of the low speed shaft from
about 20 to 60 RPM to high speed of about 1000 to 1800 RPM depending on the rated RPM of the
generator.
Generator.
The output of the generator depends on the type of the generator used and kind of power required.
In case of the AC electricity, the generator is usually an induction motor type that produces 60 cycle
frequency of the electricity. For the D.C system, DC generators are employed to convert rotational
power of the shaft into its equivalent and steady DC output electricity.
Nacelle.
It is the housing that sits atop the towers. It accommodates gear box system and generator system.
Pitch.
It controls the blades by turning them out for maximum tracking of the upstream wind [1].
How wind turbines generates electricity
The rotor blades that are usually located on the front of the turbine system have been specially
curved to shapes similar to airfoil wings of the plane. Moving wind hits up the blades causing a lift
force which rotates the blades’ low speed shaft. The kinetic energy dropped by the upstream wind is
therefore said to have been converted to the mechanical energy awaiting chain of transformation to
electrical energy. The amount of energy developed by the turbine blades is directly proportional to
the total cross sectional area of the blades that is swept through by the upstream wind.

The speed of low shaft is multiplied by the gain of the gearbox so as to be in sync with the RPM
rating of the generator. The rotor of the generator is connected to the gearbox at the high speed
end. Efficiency of the gearbox accounts for bearing and gear train frictional losses.
In the generator, rotational mechanical energy is transduced into electrical energy which is fed into
the supply system or utility network. Frictional and windage losses of the generator is also
accounted for by the general efficiency of the generator.
Equation of wind turbine.
Speed and power relations.
Moving mass of air from the region of high pressure concentration to the region of low pressure
concentration has kinetic energy which is given by the formula shown below;
k . e= 1
2 mV 2 (1)
Kinetic energy of the wind is proportional to the square of the wind velocity and mass of air. This
energy of the wind can be converted into its equivalent power in watts by determining kinetic
energy flow rate per second. The unit is given in watts.
P¿=1
2 (mass flow per second)V 2 (2)
Volumetric flow rate of wind is the volume of wind flowing at a certain speed given by;
Volair= AV (3)
Volumetric flow rate of the moving air is converted into mass flow rate of air given in kg/sec by
multiplying with air density;
Massair=ρAV (4)
Where
P¿isthe mechanical power of wind Watts
ρisthe air density ( kg
m3 )
Ais area swept by rotor bladem2
V is the velocity of airm/ sec
Substituting mass flow rate in the equation (4) into equation (2), the maximum power in the
upstream wind then becomes,
P¿=1
2 ( ρAV ) V 2= 1
2 ρA V 3 (4)
Therefore, from equation (4) specific power density in watts of a given place can be expressed as;
Power Density Of the Site= 1
2 ρ V 3 (5)

Power density is a useful tool used in site selection for installation of wind turbines. It can be seen
that density of wind and its velocity are crucial determining factors for the preliminary decision
making of wind turbine installation.
Power extracted from the wind.
Maximum power of the upstream wind practically cannot be fully converted into mechanical power
by rotor blades. The existence of deviation between power in the upstream wind and downstream
wind is the practical mechanical power is extracted by the rotor blades.
This power can be mathematically modelled in accordance with the velocity of the upstream wind
and the velocity of downstream wind as shown in the equation below.
P0= 1
2 ( mass flow per second ) {V 2V 2
0 } (6)
The above equation denotes that the maximum mechanical power that can be induced into the
system is the energy lost from the upstream wind. The resultant velocity of the downstream wind is
reduced due to little remaining power of the wind past the turbine rotor blades.
Where
Po =is output power of the turbinemechanical power of therotor
V =Upstream wind velocity
V 0=Exit wind velocity of the rotor blade
The average velocity of wind is the determined by the velocity of the upstream wind and the velocity
of the downstream wind as shown below.
1
2 ( V +V o ) (7)
Therefore, the mass flow rate of wind is determined by replacing velocity with average velocity;
Mass flow rate=ρA V +V 0
2 (8)
By substituting equation (8) into equation (6), the mechanical power extracted by the rotor blades is
determined by;
P0= 1
2 [ ρA ( V +V o )
2 ] ( V 2V o
2 ) (9)
Rearranging equation (9) algebraically,

Equation (10) has a component of generic wind power formula and another component consisting of
upstream and downstream velocities of the wind. Velocity ratio can be represented with the
coefficient C p which is a fraction of upstream and downstream wind speed.

The above coefficient is known Power coefficient (C ¿¿ p)¿, which is a wind turbine efficiency.
Generally, (C ¿¿ p)¿ value is usually specified by the manufacturer.
Tips speed ratio
Tip speed ratio (TSR) is very fundamental factor when designing wind turbine. It has been proven
that, when the wind turbine rotor spins slowly, most wind penetrates through the spaces between
the rotor blades as a result turbine produced little or no power. On contrary, when the rotor blades
moves so fast, it creates a wall-like solid structure which maximizes tracking of upstream wind
power. However, on some instances when the rotor speed is too high, it creates a turbulence that
decreases the efficiency rotor blade tracking capability. Therefore, it is for this reason that the speed
of the rotor blades is controlled [2].
TSR is found by the ratio of tips speed of the rotor blade and the speed of wind.
ʎ = Tip speed of the blade
Wind Speed (13)
ʎ = v
V = ωr
V (14)
Where
V is the velocity of windm/ sec
vis the velocity of rotor tipm/ sec
ω=2 πf is theangular velociy radian/ sec
f is the frequency of rotationHz
It is a dimensionless factor that is very useful for aerodynamic of wind power extraction.
The TSR depends on the quantity of the rotor blades [3].

Pcon=ωg T Ind (17)
Where T Ind is equivalent to the electromagnetic torque. The output electrical power of the
generator is given by the expression.
Pout=V t I a (18)
However, for the analysis of the turbine system, overall power efficiency C p of the wind turbine
generator simplifies general power output using equation (12) .
Pout=V t I a =1

Therefore, C p is the overall power coefficient, which indicates the effective wind turbine system

Graphs of Tip Speed Ratio against Power efficiency obtained from the matlab code is as shown in the
table below.

From the graphs, it is observed that tip speed ratio of rotor blade increases with increase in the
power efficiency of the turbine system.
Conclusion
Equations governing the operation wind turbine were formulated in part A of this report. Factors
such as density of the air moving air within region of installation and losses were dealt with. Power
efficiency of the turbine was modelled basing on the individual efficiencies of the wind turbine
system. Equations that were formulated in part A used to form algorithm in the Matlab code. The
code prompts user to input radius of the turbine blades and speed of wind. The code then calculates
swept area and then computes equations derived from part A. The code results generates power
efficiencies of the turbine experimented at different range of frequencies, tip speed ratios (TSR).
Graphs were also generated, giving the relationship between the TSR and power efficiencies at
various resistance values.
