Aerodynamically Efficient Low Wind Speed: Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine
Tags: Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Malaysia, Energy & Environment
This innovative horizontal axis wind turbine is designed for aerodynamic efficiency in low wind speeds, needing only 10-15 m/s to generate up to 10 kW of power. It addresses the need for reliable, low-cost, and environmentally friendly energy production in areas with typically low wind conditions. By producing electricity, it has the potential to reduce CO2 emissions, save on fuel costs, and lower electricity consumption. Its optimal blade design achieves up to 59% energy capture in wind speeds as low as 3-6 m/s, common in Malaysia. This positions it competitively against traditional and local wind turbine providers.
