Supply self sustainable energy Enhance cultural understanding Marketable Educational Affordable
Goals
Wind EnergyWhat wind is
Wind power generation- Wind Turbine
Advantages and challenges
Personal Use
WindHow it’s formed
–Uneven heating of the atmosphere
–Irregularities of the earth’s surface
–Rotation of the earth
How wind flow patterns are determined
–Earth’s Terrain -Bodies of water -Vegetation
•How it's captured to create electricity
–Wind Turbine
Wind TurbineWhat it is-Device that converts kinetic energy from wind into mechanical energy.

Advantages and ChallengesPROS●Renewable energy●Abundant●Low-priced long term
CONS●May not be cost competitive●Higher initial investment●Wind is inconsistent
Personal Wind Systems
● Provides energy for personal use
●Requires consistent Wind around 9mph for best use
Skystream 3.7 Wind Turbine
Interactive wind Turbine Shows Moving Parts Powers lights
Wind Pump Shows more wind creates more power
Gears
Educational opportunities on Wind
Rethinking Wind Energy
Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT)
Traditional Design Commercially used Quite Expensive Needs to be directed into the wind
Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT)
Recently popular Used more on the residential level Lower Cost No need for direction

Micro Hydro Power System
Convert potential energy from water flow
Great alternative energy source Turbine Generator electricity Head and flow of stream Constant AC power

Energy Output
P = Q * H * e * gP = Power at generator terminal (kW)Q = Volume flow in pipeline (m3/s)H = Head (m)e = efficiency g = 9.81 m/s2 (gravity constant)

Head- vertical distance the water fallsHigher heads require less water to produce a given amount of power.

Power Pathway
Where Is The Power?
Controlling the power
Preventing overcharge Preventing
Reverse flowDid you know that Solar Panels remove charge from a battery at night?
Low Voltage DisconnectSolar Power Cut power at 80% diminished or 20% of total charge
Wind Keep constant load (Dump Load)
Charge Controller
Windy Dankoff. “What is a Charge Controller”
Educational Opportunity!!!!
How much power is created from the various inputs?
Battery Bank Basics
Safe containment
