Abstract

Airports require constant power supply throughout the year. As a solution to this growing demand, power requirement of airports can be supported from renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. Wind energy can be harvested near airports by using a series of wind turbines of small sizes. Such small turbine can be placed around airports without violating aviation regulations. In this work, a three-bladed savonius wind turbine that can be easily manufactured at low cost and which is effective in turbulent air condition is proposed for this purpose. The pressure distribution over the turbines blades and the revolutions per minute (RPM) of the turbine are estimated/calculated by using a wind tunnel. In this investigation, it was observed that the savonius turbine designed for airport installation has the desirable characteristic of low cut-in speed. The flow around the turbine is visualized using a water flow channel and colorants. The visualization technique aids in understanding the performance of turbine against smooth as well as turbulent wind conditions.

风力系统对机场的能源支持

机场需要全年不间断的电力供应。为了解决这一日益增长的需求，机场的电力需求可以从风能和太阳能等可再生能源中得到支持。通过使用一系列小型风力涡轮机，可以在机场附近收集风能。这种小型涡轮机可以放置在机场周围，而不会违反航空法规。为此，本文提出了一种易于制造、成本低且在紊流条件下有效工作的三叶片savonius风力机。通过使用风洞来估计/计算涡轮机叶片上的压力分布和涡轮机的每分钟转数(RPM)。在本次调查中，观察到设计用于机场安装的萨伏纽斯涡轮具有理想的低切割速度特性。涡轮机周围的流动是用水流通道和颜料可视化的。可视化技术有助于理解涡轮机在平滑和湍流风条件下的性能。
