ABSTRACT
As our global population increases at an exponential rate and our consumption grows with it, a sustainable source of energy needs to be developed to meet our power requirements. At this stage wind energy conversion systems (WECS) cannot produce power to the same scale as coal or gas fuelled power stations, but they do however offer the ability to operate as stand-alone power generation systems, reducing the need for long distance power transmission lines.
The Wind Energy Conversion Systems(WECS) consist of the mechanical and Electrical Parts though the later part of it is our main focus, the project consist of five chapters.
Chapter one presents a brief introduction of the topic- “Stand Alone Self Excited Single Phase mini wind induction Generation” with the aim, objectives, methodology and constraint of design.
Chapter two presents the history and components of the design. It also discusses extensively the induction generator its characteristics and functions.
Chapter three focused on the electrical aspect of the project. The theoretical results as well as the calculations which are essential for the design were delineated.
Chapter four and five present the construction of the project, the result , observation, and conclusion.
