A study of overspeed-protection furling mechanism of Small Wind Turbine

The wind power has been used steadily since long ago, but the importance of it has been faded because of the abundant and convenient fossil energy. Now, due to the energy crisis, experiencing the environmental problems etc, the necessity of using it growing bigger. Because the small wind turbines under a few kW grade has the merits of setting up with low costs by individuals, and get the energy saving effects that, it has the secured, separate markets from the range systems, and the developing of it is continuously proceeding. The small wind turbine system must have the output power regulating system for the over wind speed, to run steadily in the various wind speed environment. In case of the small wind turbine system, to prevent the breaking and for safety, at the over wind speed, additional system is required, and in most cases, output power is restricted by mechanical means. In this paper, the furling system makes the tail and the head move to make the blades to the wind in slanted angle, restrict the output power at the over wind speed. In thesis, small prototype wind turbine is made, and analyzing the output power characteristics at the over wind speed, and to verify, through the logical study and tests.
