UTRC 15-kW wind-system development. Phase I. Design and analysis. Volume II. Technical report
A description is given of the design of a 15-kW wind turbine. The wind turbine employs the UTRC Composite Bearingless Rotor Concept in conjunction with a passive pendulum control system which controls blade pitch for start-up, efficient power generation, and high-speed survivability. Also included is a summary of experimental material and component tests which were performed in support of the wind turbine design. Studies of system reliability, maintainability, availability and safety are reported and an estimate of the cost-of-energy is also made for a production wind system.
