On 22 February 2018, there was a presentation of the wind turbine developed by scientists of KSTU on the territory of the Experimental plant No. 1.
The event was attended by designer Mikhail Trubachev, head of metal products sector Karabalin Kaysar, developer of the construction – professor of the Department TEES Zhetesov Santai Suleimenovich.
Basically, the turbine is intended for power supply of individual households and objects remote from centralized power supply (“cellular” stations, farms, weather stations, hunting farms, etc.).
Wind speed is the most important factor that affects the amount of energy generated by the wind turbine. The productivity of the wind turbine grows at increasing its height by increasing the wind speed. The amount of electricity is generated by the wind power plant increases cubic with increasing wind speed. If the wind speed doubles, then the accumulation that occurs through the inverter is applied.
The wind turbine of KSTU has a vertical axis of rotation, which provides 20-30 year regular operation at proper care and maintenance. The main burden falls on the bearings and the blades that need replacing with wear and tear. Range of speeds of 5-8 m/s is enough for the starting rotation speed. Output at rated wind speed is derived from the 8 m/s. Rated power wind turbine is 5 kW. That’s enough for a whole farm or on a porch.
At the end of the presentation Santay Suleimenovich demonstrated to all present the operating principle and the advantages of this device.
