EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE BEHAVIOUR OF SMALL WIND TURBINE DURING THE STARTING PERIOD


Abstract in English

This research shows that the design of wind turbine blade for the best production of energy produces a turbine with a problem of start-up. The study focused on ways to improve the process of the small wind turbine start-up at the low wind speed with the stability of the pitch blade angle, and study the behavior of the turbine during the stage of angular acceleration after the start-up until the turbine reaches the speed of rotation that enable it to produce the energy.
