  1. Wind Turbine Project Jared Freyer, Fahad Ahmad, Anthony Christie, Yuanhua Cheng

  2. Project History • Created by Purdue BGI Club • Developed to create a wind turbine feasibility study

  3. Community Need • Promote the sustainability and need for wind power in Indiana • Using the wind turbine as a living laboratory • Provide power to the intramural field lights and feed power back into the Purdue power grid

  4. Site of Interest • Planned installation near the intramural fields • Site is close to the northwest substation • In close proximity to Purdue power lines • Higher elevation than surrounding area • Highly visible to Purdue students • Proximity to campus would allow for easier educational access

  5. Turbine Site Grid Interconnect

  6. Turbine Features • Power output • 20 kW rated power output @ 25 mph • 240 V /60 hz / 1 Phase • Features • Self-erecting • Electric Yaw Controller • Dynamic Brake System • Price and Emissions offset • $108,128 initial price • $5,234/year annual maintenance • 37 year complete payback • 52.5 tons/year CO2 offset (DOE/EPA)

  7. Turbine Dimensions • Height • 79 ft (24 m) tall tower • 20 ft (6 m) blade radius • 99 ft (30 m) tall total height • Base at approximately 650 ft above sea level • Noise • 61.7 dB at distance of 25 ft (7.6 m) • Virtually soundless (20 dB) at distance of 275 ft (84 m)

  8. Turbine Height Comparison Turbine: 99 ft (30 m) tall 650 ft (198 m) above sea level Bell Tower: 160 ft (49 m) tall 620 ft (189 m) above sea level
