Wind Tunnel Model for Natural Wind Velocity

Abstract

At the present time, the demand for energy in Thailand is increasing rapidly. Therefore, improving production efficiency is important in solving energy problems. According to the Alternative Energy and Alternative Energy Development Plan 2015-2036 in Thailand, the objectivity for wind power generation has increased dramatically. For this reason, the research team had the idea to create a wind tunnel with adjustable wind speed to mimic local wind speed in Thailand to be used in designing and analyzing wind turbine blade designs to suit various wind speeds. This can increase the efficiency of the production of energy even more. Wind speed adjustment or the pressure, lift and rotation speed measured can be done by a computer. By applying the PID control theory, it can precisely control the wind speed.
