Abstract

A wind turbine is a machine for converting the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical energy. If the mechanical energy is used directly by machinery, such as a pump or grinding stones, the machine is usually called a windmill. If the mechanical energy is then converted to electric power, the machine is called a wind generator. When designing a wind power system, it is crucial to understand the electricity load and the available resources. The only vertical axis turbine which has ever been manufactured commercially at any volume is the Darrieus machine, named after the French engineer Georges Darrieus who patented the design in 1931. (It was manufactured by the U.S. company FloWind which went bankrupt in 1997). The Darrieus machine is characterized by its C-shaped rotor blades which make it look a bit like an eggbeater. It is normally built with two or three blades. The purpose of this thesis is to design a Camoperate Vertical Windmill. This thesis consist on the study of existing windmill/wind turbine, wind condition and project development.
