At first glance, wind turbine design would not seem to be that complicated. A wind turbine after all looks like a large fan mounted on a post, which is connected to a device that converts the kinetic energy of the moving blades into electrical energy. But actually, there are many factors that need to be taken into consideration when you set out to make a workable wind turbine design. For instance, you need to design a foundation and a tower (the mount) that is extremely strong and can withstand high wind speeds. A 1.5 inch steel pipe can bend like straw in winds blowing at 50 miles per hour or mph. The average survival speed, or maximum speed that good wind turbines are designed to withstand, is around 134 mph! So the tower and even the blades need to be able to withstand such high speeds. And you can’t get away with putting up a wind turbine in a low wind speed area. You need high speed winds to generate the optimum levels of power. Otherwise, the power generated would not be worth the investment made towards building the turbine. You also need to utilize precision fabrication while making the blades of the turbine. The blades of the ‘fan’ need to be precisely made according to certain set design parameters. And it is not like you can use the same parameters for every turbine; the precision fabrication guidelines will change for each turbine based on factors like the height of the mount, the average wind speeds in the area where the turbine is to be put up, and the total span area of the fan’s blades, to name just a few. Besides the blades, there are many other parts in a turbine, both mechanical and electrical, that need to be precisely fabricated. Because of all these complexities, it is better to take the help of advanced engineering design software when you require efficient and reliable wind turbine design. Rather than wrestle singlehandedly with all the mathematical figures and calculations, you can use an engineering design software program to generate the perfect turbine design, after feeding in some important data. Such software will also help you with determining the precision fabrication parameters for different parts of the wind energy turbine. If you are not sure that you will be able to handle such software programs on your own, but still want to save time and effort, then you can outsource your design requirements to a contract manufacturer and designing firm. They will have professionals who are experienced in using the latest engineering design software and will be also able to precisely fabricate parts for you according to the design specifications. You can find many such companies online; you can research their services and prices, and then choose one according to your budget and requirements. Author:- I am webmaster of Denis Ferranti Group.
