Mod-2 wind turbine development project
A major phase of the Federal Wind Energy Program, the Mod-2 wind turbine, a second-generation machine developed by the Boeing Engineering and Construction Co. for the US Department of Energy and the Lewis Research Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is described. The Mod-2 is a larger (2.5-MW power rating) horizontal-axis wind turbine designed for the generation of electrical power on utility networks. Three machines have been built and are located in a cluster at Goodnoe Hills, Washington. All technical aspects of the project are described: design approach, significant innovation features, the mechanical system, the electrical power system, the control system, and the safety system.
