DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF WIND POWER EXPERIMENT LAB KIT

Practical demonstration and measurement are crucial to support the teaching deliverables for the Under Graduate students to understand the theories. The energy conversion terminology, in general and the wind energy conversion, in particular are within the courses of Mechanical engineering department in UTP.Unfortunately there is no well-established lab under this cause. This project is being designed to allow students to understand the effect of rotor design on the performance of wind power systemso as to help understand the wind energy conversion systems better. Accordingly, a demonstration and experimental system was designed, fabricated and tested to take place in the new lab which is under establishment. This setup can later be used to test the performance of different types of wind rotors.
