3
Introduction of the main problemNeed of alternative source of energyIncreasing demand in electricity consumptionHigh NOx and COy emissions
Unstable air flow directionsLow speed winds in urban areas
4
Aim of current researchThe aim of this research is to investigate
the design and development of micro wind turbines for integration into; residential, commercial and industrial complexes.
5
Wind energy as a sourceRenewableLow human footprintUsable in urban areasBetz limit on efficiency
6
Distribution of yields for installation of a swift 1.5 kW turbine
7
Impact of low wind speed events amongst area of UK
8

17
Generators for the experimental use;
Bicycle dynamos
18
Generators for the experimental use; Motorcycle alternators
19
Generators for the experimental use; Axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) generators

21
Bearings for the experimental use;Mounted radial bearings
22
Gears for the experimental use;Planetary gears
23
ConclusionsAn ARRAY of counter rotating horizontal axis
micro wind turbines can be built and a prototype can be tested.
Fan blades need to be optimized regarding to tip speed ratios
AFPM machines should be usedPlanetary gears needs to be placed for counter
rotation and increased angular speed of AFPMMounted bearings are suitable for simple fixingShafts needs to be robust designed
