Abstract

It had presented for current investigation the powered performance of H vertical wind turbines for wind speed of (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) m/s region in Al-Mussaib city-Iraq, located at 3205' North latitude and 4403' East longitude. The Experimental test rig includes H vertical wind turbine which configured and made-up in order to analyze the effect of different ambient and wind speed variable conditions on the powered performance of H typre vertical wind turbine which consists of blades which are made from plastics. The turbine blades are designed from plastic strips with a thickness of 3 mm, each part is along 50 cm in diameter, 16 cm in diameter, and the number of blades used in this experiment is six blades to form required turbine. The experiments were tested outdoor at Technical College in AL-Mussaib city-Babylon-Iraq for a period of March and April 2022. The results showed that the power output, with wind speed of minimum value 1 m/s generate 5 Watts, while with wind speed of maximum value 7 m/s generate 100 Watts. Also, the power output, with turbine rotational speed of minimum value 100 rpm generate 8 Watts, while with turbine rotational speed of maximum value 1000 rpm generate 120 Watts. Moreover, the power output, with turbine elevation of minimum value 7 m generate 100 Watts, while with turbine elevation of maximum value 21 m generate 250 Watts.
