Wind energy STE

No wind, no electricity. In vocational training it is necessary to expand on this simple conclusion. The opportunities for future employment with companies in the energy industry and crafts are increasing rapidly, but so is the required knowledge.

The LEYBOLD Plug-in system „Wind Power and Electricity“ has been developed, to support this with a modern training system. The experimental setup allows more than a dozen experiments on Wind Power and Electricity.

The study topics are:

• Shape of rotor blades and energy output
• Relationship between wind speed, speed of rotation and efficiency
• Energy surplus and tie-in

• Effects of the shape of rotor blades on energy yield
• Conjunction between wind speed, speed of rotation and yield
• Energy surplus and feeding into the grid

TOPICS

• Energy balance and efficiency of a wind energy plant
• U-I characteristic curve and speed of rotation of a wind energy plant
• Speed of rotation and power depending on wind speed
• Comparing Savonius and three-blade rotors
• Advantages and disadvantages of various shapes of blades
