Abstract:
The data on performance parameters of a horizontal axis small wind turbine (HAWT) with blade tip power system (BTPS) using permanent magnetic generator is presented. The tests are carried out for low wind velocities ranging from 7 m/s to 10 m/s. The data is acquired using data acquisition system equipped with Labview© software and the processed data is represented in terms of non-dimensional parameters, namely power coefficient (Cp), torque coefficient (CT) and tip speed ratio (λ). Moreover, as permanent magnetic generator is used in this HAWT with BTPS, the frictional as well as other losses are significantly reduced. This is reflected in terms of non-dimensional electrical power coefficient. The mechanical and electrical power coefficient values are closer with respect to each other. This measured data at laboratory conditions provides a benchmark for future open field environment tests and numerical simulation studies of this small wind turbine.
