COMPUTATION MODEL FOR THE DESIGN OF THE ROTOR OF SMALL WIND TURBINES WITH HORIZONTAL AXIS

Currently in the field of production of electricity from wind power, Romania has a prevailing role in Central and Eastern Europe. The energy production is realised mainly in ferms composed of high power wind turbines. In the same time, there are a lot of houses which are not connected to the national power grid due to the high costs involved. A more acceptable sollution in this case would be provided by the building of small power wind turbines near the consumer. In the following i propose a computational model for the rotor of a small wind turbine.
