Design and Analysis of Low Speed Multi-Blades Wind Turbine with Compressed Air Energy Storage (Part 1)

Abstract

The objective of this research is to study the electricity generation system using the low-wind speed multi-blade (30 blades) wind turbine and the system used a reciprocating compressor (piston compressor) to store the wind energy. Wind energy are the general energy sources in nature with infinite energy that can generate electricity. With the limitation of wind speed performance in Thailand (less than 6 m/s.), supplementary of air compressor has been included for electricity production using low speed wind turbine. This research study is aimed to design and fabricate  an electricitygenerator by using the technology implementation in the country for the purpose ofprice reduction and less parts importation from the other countries. Then, the numerical analysis from CFD is decided to discuss on  its performance adaptation for low speed wind turbine especially in the southern region of the country. Under this particular reserch work, a guideline is used to conserve and protect the environment and aslo suitably adjusted the equipment for the country.
