DESIGNANDCONSTRUCTION OFVERTICAL TURBINE FORWIND POWER FARMING

Renewable energy is the termusedto describe energy that comes from sources whose supplies are regenerative and virtually in exhaustible. Among these sources are sunshine, wind, water, vegetation and the heat of the earth. A project involving renewable energy, specifying in wind energy system has been entitled. The scope of this project may cover understanding the theory of wind energy resources and the working principles of wind turbines, applies the theory into practical and study the variety of wind turbines available, investigate and make a design comparison for the bestpower output; efficiency. Theaim is to come out with a design which practical, high efficiency and low dependency on air flow. Based on these criteria, Tesla Turbine has been chosen. During this project several methodshave been carried out in completing the task; consists by doingliterature review and calculations. The final outcome combine typical Tesla Turbine with another part that functioning as to maximize the air flow before entering the turbine. This element may know as the wind-catchment area whichapplies the theory oftemperature difference. The sun will heat up the air inside the catchment area, and the difference will result in high pressure air. This hot air will generate the Tesla Turbine; whichis the mainpart ofthe project
