The assignment aims to analyze and compare a custom constructed small-scale wind augmentation device with a wind-guide attachment to improve wind power generation. The study involves designing and 3D printing a shroud with a 30-degree angle, using a miniature blower to produce artificial wind in a closed environment, and collecting inlet and outlet wind velocities using anemometers. Theoretical power values are calculated using the formula v^3, and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for any significant difference between power input and output.

A comprehensive assignment on analyzing and comparing a custom wind augmentation device with a wind-guide attachment for improved wind power generation, featuring methodology and results.

Wind Power Generation Analysis

The authors of the paper successfully increased power efficiency at two locations (Location 1 and Location 2) by using a custom-built shroud. The t-test analysis showed that there was a significant difference between inlet and outlet power at both locations, indicating an increase in power output. The results also show that the wind turbine can operate at lower cut-in speeds than originally specified, making it more efficient.

6 Significant Differences between Output and Input Power

Report

The authors designed and 3D printed three shrouds with different inlet angles (35, 40, and 45 degrees) to improve wind turbine power efficiency from low wind velocities. The experiment involved a blower generating compressed air that flows through the shrouds attached to cylindrical sheet metals. Wind velocity readings were collected using anemometers at both inlet and outlet of each shroud, with statistical analysis performed using One way ANOVA to compare the data.

Optimizing Wind Turbine Efficiency

Industrial Management

The study investigates the optimal design for custom-constructed wind augmentation devices with various inlet angles (20°, 30°, and 35°). The authors developed three designs and compared their wind flow efficiency using a one-way ANOVA test. Results showed that the 35° shroud amplified wind velocity significantly, with the highest mean values of wind speeds at the exit of the shroud.

Optimal Design for Custom-Constructed Wind Augmentation Devices

This study investigates the optimal design for wind augmentation devices to increase power output from a wind turbine. The authors constructed a wind augmentation shroud with a galvanized steel cone at a 30-degree inlet angle and recorded outlet velocity as 3.37 m/s, compared to an inlet velocity of 2.66 m/s. The results show that the Primus AIR 40 wind turbine can operate at lower cut-in speeds (2.66 m/s) than specified by the manufacturer (3.1 m/s). The study also found an increase in power output at the outlet of the shroud, confirming the effectiveness of cone-shaped wind augmentation devices in increasing power efficiency.

Investigating Optimal Design for Wind Augmentation Devices

Industrial Technology

The assignment discusses the development and testing of wind augmentation devices, specifically custom constructed wind shrouds with different inlet angles (20, 25, and 30 degrees) to improve wind velocity. The study aimed to investigate the optimal design for wind augmentation devices and to determine if introducing a flange to the diffuser would result in significant differences in mean wind speeds. Results showed that the 300-degree angled shroud was the most efficient, increasing wind velocity significantly differently compared to the inlet wind velocity. However, all designs were capable of increasing wind velocity significantly. The flanged diffuser did not reveal significant differences in mean wind speeds when compared to a regular 200-degree design.

Optimizing Wind Augmentation Devices: Design and Performance Analysis

The research aims to improve the power efficiency of wind turbines by designing a custom constructed wind augmentation shroud with an optimal inlet angle and shape of wind guide attachment. The study proposes to increase the capture of energy in the wind from 59.3% to 70%, leading to improved power output. The design process involves using Creo Parametric 3.0 software, while data analysis will be performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 23 software.
