DESIGNANDCONSTRUCTION OFVERTICAL TURBINE FORWIND POWER FARMING

Renewable energy is the termusedto describe energy that comes from sources whose
supplies are regenerative and virtually in exhaustible. Among these sources are
sunshine, wind, water, vegetation and the heat of the earth. A project involving
renewable energy, specifying in wind energy system has been entitled. The scope of
this project may cover understanding the theory of wind energy resources and the
working principles of wind turbines, applies the theory into practical and study the
variety of wind turbines available, investigate and make a design comparison for the
bestpower output; efficiency. Theaim is to come out with a design which practical,
high efficiency and low dependency on air flow. Based on these criteria, Tesla
Turbine has been chosen. During this project several methodshave been carried out
in completing the task; consists by doingliterature review and calculations. The final
outcome combine typical Tesla Turbine with another part that functioning as to
maximize the air flow before entering the turbine. This element may know as the
wind-catchment area whichapplies the theory oftemperature difference. The sun will
heat up the air inside the catchment area, and the difference will result in high
pressure air. This hot air will generate the Tesla Turbine; whichis the mainpart ofthe
project.
