Wind Energy

 Wind energy is the form of solar energy.Wind energy is describes the process by which wind is used to generate  electric energy.Here Wind turbines convert kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical energy and generator convert mechanical power into electricity.

  • China is the largest in wind energy of capacity 221GW.
  • US is the second place with 96.4GW.

According  to axis alignment, wind energy divided into two types.

  • Horizontal axis wind turbine
  • Vertical axis wind turbine

Horizontal  axis turbine further divided into 3 types.

  • Dutch type windmill
  • Multiblade water pumping windmills
  • High-speed propeller type windmills
Vertical axis wind turbines may be divided into two types.

  • Savonius rotor
  • Darrieus rotor
How does wind turbine work

When the wind passes over the blades and make them turn and produce kinetic energy. Then the blades turn a shaft within nacelle.
The shaft turns a generator which converts the kinetic energy into electrical energy. Then transformer situated bottom  of the tower step up or the right voltage required  for the local network and then these electricity exported to the electricity grid.

Various part of a wind turbine tower

Naccele-It is a cover housing that houses all the generating components in a wind turbine incuding gerator, gearbox drive drain and brake assembly.

Yaw system



Yaw system  located  between the wind turbine nacelle and tower. It's  responsible is to orientation of wind turbine tower towards the wind.

Anemometer-It is a device used to measure the wind speed and direction.

Gear box:It connects the low speed shaft to high speed shaft and increase the rotational speed from about 30-60 rotation per minutes to about 1000-1800 rpm. This is the rotational  speed required by most generator  to produce electricity.

concrete pole specification | how to calculate cement, sand and aggregate quantity in concrete

Today I will tell, how PCC pole concreting is done? Before knowing about our topic, let's take a little knowledge about PCC Polls.full form of pcc pole is Plain  Cement Concrete pole .There are various types of PCC Pole like 8 mtr 8.5 mtr ,9 mtr .but Now I will discuss about only 8.5 mtr pcc pole. As per Guaranteed Technical Perticulars(GTP) Total Length-8.5 mtr Pit depth-1.5 mtr Working load applied 300 mm from top-180 kg Weight of the pole-415 Kg. Top dimension-90mmx145 mm Bottom dimensions-90mm x 300 mm we have to maintain pit length is 1.5 mtr and pole should be inside pit is L/6 where L is length of the pole. Explained : L=8.5 mtr Pit depth=L/6+0.075(Base plate) Pit diameter =20 inch(0.508 mtr) Let's go to our topic now. How to calculate cement, sand and aggregate quantities for ratio 1:2:4 Pit Size For one cmt cement required -6 bag Our pit volume (dia-0.508 mtr where r-0.254, depth-1.5 mtr) Volume -pie*r2*h                =3.14*0.254*0...

what are the possible causes of cable faults?

नमस्कार मित्रों,आज मैने HT AB CAble फॉल्ट कियुं होता है उसिके बारे में चर्चा करूंगा।    आप सभी जानते है कि एचटी एबीसी साइट इंजीनियर के लिए सरदर्दी बन जाती है। जैसे ही लाइन चार्ज करते है कुछ मिनटों या महीनों के बाद फॉल्ट आना पैदा करदेता है।   बहुत सारे इंजीनियर तो बोलना शुरू कर देते है कि खराब इनसुलेशन की बजहा से ऐसे फॉल्ट होता है।  बहुत सारे रिसर्च और अनुभव के बाद  बाद में यही नतीजे में पहुंचा कि जो इस्प्रकर की। 1) अन लोडिंग,स्टोरेज और हैंडलिंग सही से होना चाहिए। 2) टर्मिनेशन किट या ज्वाइंटिंग सही से होना चाहिए। 3) एआर्थिंग सही से होनी चाहिए जैसे कि टर्मिनल की latches  एआर्थिग  जरूर करना होता है। एक चीज ध्यान देना कि मैसेंजर तार को भी दोनों साइड में एर्थिंग करने की। ऐसे तो मैने ए भी कहूंगा कि  हर एक खंबे में मैसेंजर तार को एर्थिग करना चाहिए। Please Subscribe my YouTube channel ⁸ साइट पर केबल ड्रम की अन-लोडिंग, स्टोरेज और हैंडलिंग के लिए दिशानिर्देश जो इस प्रकार की होनी चाहिए।  केबल ड्रम की अनलोडिंग या तो क्रेन द्वारा या होइस्ट द्वारा या ट्रक ...

Depth of Field Photography Basics

  Depth of Field Photography Basics Understanding aperture & depth of field requires a strong foundation in the basics of a camera lens, along with the vocabulary used to describe them, such as f-stop, focal length, focus range, and field of view. This section provides an overview of the basics. The following sections provide technical details allowing you to apply these concepts to your own photography. What is Aperture in Photography? The terms f-stop and aperture are often used interchangeably, this is incorrect. Aperture refers to aperture diameter, where light enters the front of the lens. F-stop is the ratio of lens focal length to aperture diameter. F-stop can be referred to as f-number or f-stop value. They are the same. F-stop is  a dimensionless number, denoted by a hooked “ f ”, with an underlying number denoting the f-stop value. The hooked “f” is shorthand for f-stop, like the ”s.” after a shutter speed is short for seconds. f/2.8 and f/8 are two exa...
