Abstract

Wind energy extraction has been vital focus since the oil crisis. This is because wind energy is clean and renewable energy. This project can help improvising the extraction of energy from the wind. The project was carried out to determine the effect of number of blade and blade length on the performance of wind turbine. The project also compares 3 different numbers of blade and blade length to determine which one should be used for optimum performance of a wind turbine. The project started with the design of the wind turbine blades. The blade was then assembled to be a complete rotor and further analyzing the stream velocity of wind. The torque of the blade was determined in order to find the power output and power coefficient of wind turbine. The results show that a wind turbine having 5 blades and 45 meters blade are the most efficient. The result also shows that increasing number of blades and blade length of wind turbine will improve its efficiency.
