Wind Turbine Competition

Abstract

The purpose of this project was to build a wind turbine that meets the specs and requirements of the Department of Energy Collegiate Wind Competition. The team built a wind turbine and demonstrated in a wind tunnel that it could survive wind speeds from 1-22 m/s with minimal base deflection, and that its pitching system was able to adjust the angle of attack under load.
