How the Turbine blades works in wind?

A turbine blade is a radial aerofoil mounted in the rim of a turbine disc and which produces a tangential force which rotates a turbine rotor.

Each turbine disc has many blades. As such they are used in gas turbine engines and steam turbines. The blades are responsible for extracting energy from the high temperature, high pressure gas produced by the combustor.

The turbine blades are often the limiting component of gas turbines.

To survive in this difficult environment, turbine blades often use exotic materials like super alloys and many different methods of cooling that can be categorized as internal and external cooling and thermal barrier coatings.

Turbine Blade fatigue is a major source of failure in steam turbines and gas turbines. Fatigue is caused by the stress induced by vibration and resonance within the operating range of machinery. To protect blades from these high dynamic stresses, friction dampers are used.

Blades of wind turbines and water turbines are designed to operate in different conditions, which typically involve lower rotational speeds and temperatures.

Wind power or wind energy is mostly the use of wind turbines to generate electricity. Wind power is a popular, sustainable, renewable energy source that has a much smaller impact on the environment than burning fossil fuels.

Towers section are the structural base of the wind turbine that support the rotor and the nacelle module. There are three main types of tower section used in large wind turbines towers:

(1) Tubular steel towers

(2) Tattice towers, and

(3) Hybrid towers.

Most modern wind turbine towers are conical tubular steel towers.

Each type of turbine will use wind power to turn the turbine’s blades and can be mounted in three main ways;

• roof-mounted,
• Standalone
• On the external walls of your home, as is the case with the micro-wind turbine.
