Technology Roadmap Sections and Deliverables

Team 3 is to present a "level 2” roadmap of Wind Turbine Generator. The following code is the identifier.

  • 2WTG - Wind Turbine Generator


Roadmap Overview

Turbine block art.jpg

Wind turbines are used to harvest kinetic energy from the wind and transform it into electricity. A rotor, typically with three airfoil blades, rotates using the force of lift. A system of gears is used to increase rotational velocity of the hub to a high-speed shaft which feeds into a generator. The generator then utilizes the rotational energy to generate electricity and deliver it down the tower through a cable. Wind turbines can be assembled on land or water and usually generate energy proportional to their size.
