HORIZONTAL AXIS WIND POWER PLANT:-
wind power plantwind power plant.
Fig. Shows the schematical layout of horizontal axis wind power plant.
It consist of:
1. Blades(2 or 3 in no.s)
2. Shaft, which is mounted on the shaft , which is further coupled to generator and connected to gearbox.
WORKING:
1.During operation due to high velocity of wind sticking on blade , due which blade start to rotate.
2.The shaft on which blade is to be mounted, is also start to rotate.
3.In this way, mechanical energy is obtained.
4.In this, mechanical energy is further converted into electrical energy by using generator.
In this way , power is to be obtained.
