<aside> 💡 Our team was given the opportunity to work on a scenario that would renewable wind energy to the large population of Kingston, Ontario. The energy would be produced by a wind turbine farm, and the wind turbine’s function is to convert wind energy to renewable electricity. The design we constructed should minimize inertia, thus maximizing efficiency, and would be able to withstand a variety of stress factors. Furthermore, while being economically and environmentally sustainable, the design must last for at least 22 years. The material of the blade will be resistant to icing and sub-zero temperatures.
Our team had the unique opportunity to embark on a project aimed at harnessing renewable wind energy for the thriving population of Kingston, Ontario. Our mission centered around the creation of a wind turbine farm, tasked with the vital role of converting the force of the wind into clean and sustainable electricity.
The design we meticulously crafted was specifically engineered to reduce inertia to its absolute minimum, ensuring that the system operates at peak efficiency. This design also needed to exhibit exceptional resilience, capable of withstanding a wide array of challenging stress factors.
Moreover, our vision for this endeavour extended beyond mere functionality. We were dedicated to creating a solution that not only made economic sense but also upheld our commitment to environmental sustainability. To ensure longevity, our design was engineered to last for a minimum of 22 years, serving as a testament to our dedication to longevity and reliability.
One of the key considerations in our design was the material used for the turbine blades, which had to exhibit remarkable resistance to icing and endure sub-zero temperatures. This crucial element of our project was meticulously chosen to ensure the turbines operated effectively, even in the harshest of winter conditions.
