Abstract

Wind power converts the kinetic energy in wind to generate electricity.This is done by using a large wind turbine usually consisting of propellers and the turbine can be connected to a generator to generate electricity. Wind power and solar power are typically cheaper than new coal,natural gas,or nuclear power generators.The idea of this project is to develop a horizontal axis wind turbines (HA WTs) to generate electricity from the wasted discharged air from outdoor unit of air-conditioner. Moreover,this study presents an experiment by running a simple construction of small wind turbines.For this process of implementation,most of the materials used in the construction of this wind turbine are from PVC pipes especially at the part of the tower and its base.The blades and blade connection sections are both plastic and UPVC for high-temperature resistance.The rest part contains motor as a drive and an electronic component used to stabilize and filter the output voltage from the generator.Performance of the speed of wasted discharged air,output voltage,and output currents readings are recorded for data analysis purposes.Therefore to make sure all the objectives of the Bachelor Degree Project is achieved,the experiment and procedures should be done properly by referring the scope of the project.
