    Design of a wind turbine working with the continuity principal
    (Multi Science Publ Co Ltd, 2006) Vardar, Ali; Eker, Bülent
    In the study, the purpose is to take advantage of low wind potentials and obtain high power values with small rotor diameters. Wind speed is considered to be increased with the help of continuity principle. With this aim, two different wind tunnel inlet diameters were used, being 5 m and 10 m, while the outled diameters of wind tunnels were chosen as 0,5 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 m. The most striking result obtained in this study was the formation of a power of 492352 kW at the outlet of wind tunnel when the inlet diameter of wind tunnel was 10 m, outlet diameter was 0,5 m and the inlet wind speed was 4 m/s. Under these conditions, the wind speed at the wind tunnel outlet reaches 1600 m/s. A new viewpoint to wind energy technology will be presented if the results obtained in this study are also obtained in empirical studies.

    Developing Wind-Concentrator Systems for the Use of Wind Turbines in Areas with Low Wind-Speed Potentials
    (Wiley-V C H Verlag Gmbh, 2015) Vardar, Ali; Eker, Bülent; Kurtulmuş, Ferhat; Taşkın, Onur
    The ability to supply energy in rural areas and in agricultural plants with renewable energy technologies, especially wind energy, is advantageous in terms of a sustainable environment and the increasing cost of energy. Today, wind turbines are used actively in many areas, some of which are for commercial purposes. Small-scale wind turbines that produce electricity directly have the necessary characteristics for use in agricultural plants. In this study, wind-concentrator systems for small-scale wind turbines that can be used in agricultural electrification applications have been designed for geographical areas where the wind-speed potential is low. Three different concentrator systems have been designed to make use of low wind-speed potentials and obtain high power values with relatively small rotor diameters. The three different designs have been produced as prototypes, and power values of 324-503 Wm(-2) (at 5 ms(-1) wind speed) can be obtained by concentrating the wind. The efficiency, power, energy production capacity, and economic elements of the models were determined, and the possible results for agricultural plants have been assessed. According to these assessments, the efficiency values are 71 and 90% for wind speed and 410 and 600% for wind power. The energy production capacities are a maximum of 6462, 5193, and 8226 kWhm(-2) per year for the conical wind-concentrator system, the wind-concentrator system with a panel, and the wind-concentrator system without a panel, respectively. If the energy production cost per unit of these systems is considered, these systems are not economical. Therefore, these systems must be produced on a large scale to become economical, and their size must be enlarged to reduce the cost. Consequently, the potential power values per unit area and the potential energy values per unit produced by the wind-concentrator systems will contribute to the production of more energy than that achieved by current wind turbines.

    Modeling studies on the relation between wind speed and height: Tekirdag sample
    (Sila Science, 2011) Vardar, Ali; Eker, Bülent; Durgut, M. Recai; Okur, Ersen; Kurtulmuş, Ferhat
    The experiments of this study were conducted in Degirmenalti Campus of Namik Kemal University in Tekirdag, a province in northwestern Turkey between 2005-2008. An anemograph system which can measure wind speed and wind direction at 2 m and 10 m heights was used in this study. The recorded data was transferred to computer environment with a data logger. The relation between wind speed and height was modeled with the gathered data and it was compared with logarithmic wind speed. Also, artificial neural networks (ANN) method was used in wind speed estimation and error comparisons of the results of measurements and ANN estimations was done. The best results of the error analysis were gained from the developed mathematical model. Especially, the error rate of developed mathematical model for the wind speed values over 2 ms-1 remained under 5%. While error rates appeared to be higher in logarithmic wind speed model, they were quite near to the developed mathematical model in ANN method.
