“WIND TURBINE”

Wind turbine is a machine with a rotating blade that converts kinetic energy of wind into
mechanical energy. The function is to changed kinetic energy into electric current. It divided
into 2 type, they are Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines and Vertical Axis Wind Turbine. The
shaped like windmill. It is circular and cylindrical. It has a height of 162 m and the blades
diameter of 144 m. It can produce capacity of electric current of 10 MW. It is consists of 5
part, they are rotor, nacelle, propeller, tail wind turbine and the stand. The blades fitted over
the electricity generator make an axis. The propoller leads from the nacelle to the tail wind
turbine. The nacelle is supported by the stand.

Rotor. The rotor is the rotating part that consists of axis and blades that attached around the
rotor. The blades made of pipe PVC that cut to zise of the calculation result. The properties
from the blades is tough and the surface is smooth. It also opaque and combustible material.
The rotor is circular in shaped and the blade has shape like knife. The rotor is circular and the
blade is triangular prism, it has 3 surface, they are flat and rectangle. The cross-section of the
blade is triangle and the longitudinal section is rectangle. It is at the top of the wind turbine.
The rotor is free to rotate in Y and X axis. It can rotate in Y axis because of the wind
blowing. It can rotate in X axis controlled by the tail wind turbine. But it is not free to move
vertically and longitudinally. The rotor has diameter 144 m, the length each blade is 72m.
The function of rotor is to change the wind blowing into kinetic energy to rotate the electric
generator.

Nacelle. Nacelle consists of gear box, low- and high-speed shafts, generator, and brake. It is a
container shape like a tube. It is cylindrical in shaped. The properties from the nacelle is
tough and opaque because of its material is aluminium. It is behind the rotor and above the
stand. It is fitted over the stand. It is free rotate only in X axis, controlled by the tail wind
turbine. The length about 100 m. The nacelle capable of placing componens inside turbine.
Gears leads from the high-speed shaft to the low speed shaft and increase the speed about 30-
60 rotations per minute (rpm), around 1000 to 1800 rpm, it required by generators to produce
electricity. It made of metal. It is tough and rigid material. It is circular. It mounted on low
and high speed shafts inside the nacelle. It can rotating clockwise. The diameter of gears
about 50 m. It is able to change low rotating to high rotating. Generator is one of the most
important components in the manufacture of wind turbine systems. The generator made of
metal. It is tough and rigid material. It also opaque material, but it is non combustible
material. It is cylindrical in shaped. The generator position is at the end inside the nacelle. It
can not movement. The diameter of generator about 40 m with length 50 m. Generator is
used for changing kinetic energy to electric current then be continued to cotroller. Low and
high speed shaft made of metal. It is tough and rigid. It is cylindrical in shape. The length
about 90 m. The function of low-speed shaft is to drive generator and the high speed shaft is
to change low speed rotor axis about 30-60 rpm. Brake is disc brake which applied in
mechanical. Because of the material is metal it has tough properties. It also opaque material.
It is shaped like the letter U. The capacity of the brake is to stop the rotor in emergency.
Propeller. It is connected the nacelle to the tail turbine. It is made of alumunium. It is tough
and opaque material. It is also non combustible material. It is cylindrical in shaped. The shape
is shaft. It is behind the nacelle and fitted over the tail wind turbine. It is free rotate only in X
axis, controlled by the tail wind turbine. The length about 30 m. In there are found
anemometer. The anemometer have the ability to measured the wind speed and transfer the
wind to the controller.

Then is tail wind turbines. The tail wind turbines used direct the wind turbines to always face
to direction of the wind. It is like the tail-plane shaped. It is nearly trapezoid in shape. It made
of metal. It is tough material and opaque material. It is not combustible material but it is non
combustible material. It is the bottom of wind turbines. It is fitted the nacelle. The tail is free
rotate only in X axis appropriate the direction of the wind. The height about 50 m and the
length about 30 m. The tail have the capacity to control the movement of the wind turbines.
 The last is the stand. It is cylindrical in shaped. The cross section of
the sand is circular and the longitudinal section is rectangular. It is
made of metal. It is tough material and opaque material. It is also
non combustible material and it is not brittle material. It is bellow
the wind turbines. It is can not movement. The height about 162 m
and diameter. It is stuck with strong in the ground to propped the
wind turbines. The stand is used to propped the wind turbines.

How do wind turbine is work :

First, energy kinetic from the wind is revolve the wind turbine. Wind turbine work be
opposite with stand fan (it is not use electric to produce the wind, but it is use wind to
produce electric current).
Then, the wind will revolve the blades. The tail will bi direction the turbine into the high
wind blowing.
Next, the low shaft will be rotate, it is make the gaer rotate. Then the high speed shaft change
the low rotating into the high rotating that next to be continued to rotated the electricity
generator in behind the rotor.
Next, generator change kinetic energy to electric energy with electromagnetic theorema. Axis
in generator attach with permanent ferromagnetic material. Then around the axis found stator
that the shape is wire reels that make a loop. When generator axis begin rotate so alteration
fluks will be accour in stator, because of that so will be produce tension and electric current
certain.
Finally, the tension and electric current be continue pass through electric network cabel to be
use by people.The electric energy usully be saved into battery before it be use.
