Design and fabrication of a modular wind turbine

The project addressed the growing need for renewable energy solutions by focusing on the design and fabrication of a modular wind turbine system. Harnessing wind energy has become increasingly important in the transition towards sustainable energy sources. Existing wind turbine designs often lack scalability, adaptability, and cost-effectiveness, limiting their widespread adoption. Moreover, maintenance and component replacement can be challenging and costly, especially in harsh environmental conditions. The project has been conducted with a thorough analysis of existing wind turbine designs and their shortcomings. Computer-aided design (CAD) software is utilized to simulate and evaluate various prototypes, focusing on efficiency, durability, and scalability. The fabricated product is able to generate up 0.6 to 1watt of power on a low wind speed (3-4m/s). The turbine Windy ONE is able to produce a higher power generation given a high wind speed is available. This project has developed a scalable and adaptable modular wind turbine that is on par or exceed the existing wind turbine efficacy and efficiency while reducing maintenance costs and can be easily customized based on environmental factors and energy demands.
