DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF COMPACT SIZE WIND TURBINE FOR REMOTE VILLAGES
India is a land of villages; out of which most are situated in remote hilly areas. In such areas, electricity cannot be supplied easily due to geographical limitations. In order to overcome these difficulties, wind energy can be effectively utilized. In hilly areas wind energy is readily available with greater velocity compared to ground level velocity. Hence, compact sized horizontal axis wind turbine has been proposed as per environmental conditions available at such areas. The same can be customized as per requirement. Design and development of a compact size horizontal axis wind turbine has been further demonstrated and explained in this paper.
