Paper Details

Renewable energy resources like wind energy is one of the most significant and rapidly developingrenewable energy on this planet. For the next leap in the wind energy conversion technologies, we are under adherencenot only to face with the environment challenges but also to conserve natural ecosystem. The majority of wind turbinescurrently in operation have the conventional concept design; single rotor wind turbine and electric generator. Recently,Dual-Rotor wind turbine (DRWT) has been introduced to the market. This review paper is concerned on investigation ofsite selection, design, development and fabrication of Dual Rotor wind turbine system on the basis of wind flowcharacteristic at RGPV Hill-top. The purpose of this article is to addressing the general aspects of this area ofknowledge and contextualizing it to perform an investigation on wind flow characteristics and to determine the AnnualEnergy Production (AEP) of existing wind turbines installed at the same site. In this work, the recorded time series winddata fetched by the NRG Symphonie Data logger wind mast installed at Energy Park, RGPV campus. This review articleis for presentation on research on the aerodynamics of wind turbine blade using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)and Design of Dual rotor Gearbox technological system on CATIA software. A counter-rotating wind turbine having tworotors rotating in opposite directions on the same axis is proposed to improve the aerodynamic performance of a windturbine wind turbine blade is most important component to produce electricity from wind. An enhanced understanding ofhow small wind turbines interact with wind turn out to be essential. The design unit is composed of the tandem windrotors, whose front and rear diameters are 1.0 meter and 3.0 meter respectively. Wind turbine blades are subjected todifferent types of forces. Currently research has concentrated to improving the aerodynamics performances of windturbine blade through wind tunnel testing and theoretical studies. However wind turbine simulation throughcomputational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software offers easy solution to aerodynamics blade analysis problem. Thechallenges of optimisation within other aerodynamics fields were identified.
