Status report of 100 kW Experimental Wind Turbine Generator Project
Conference
·
OSTI ID:5012044
The Energy Research and Development Administration and the NASA Lewis Research Center have engaged jointly in a Wind Energy Program which includes the design and erection of a 100 kW wind turbine generator. This test machine consists of a rotor turbine, transmission, shaft, alternator, and tower. The rotor, measuring 125 feet in diameter and consisting of two variable pitch blades, operates at 40 rpm and generates 100 kW of electrical power at a wind velocity of 18 mph. The entire assembly is placed on top of a tower 100 feet above ground level. The machine is currently in the assembly phase and will be ready for operation in August, 1975.
