Wind Turbine Variables

 

Wind Turbine Design

The design of a turbine is crucial to the amount of power it can produce, and how long it will last. This page explores different types of wind turbine designs and discusses different variables.

Blade Design

This page explores one of the most important elements in wind turbine power production, and provides suggestions for designing blades that produce optimal power.

Power Output

Engineers try to design wind turbines to produce maximum power. This page explores a myriad of variables that affect a turbine's power output, and discusses electrical output in general.

Wind Meteorology

We can build predictable turbines, but we can't truly predict the wind. This page explores factors in the wind that affect the electrical output of a turbine.

Generators & Motors

The generator is the mechanism of the turbine that produces electricity. Variables in the generator affect the turbine's ability to produce power.
