Project 1
Wind turbine technology is currently one of the most effective renewable energies. In this project, our team had to design the turbine blade component based on mechanical requirements and our engineering scenario. Through the use of CAD modelling and ANSYS-Granta EduPack, we worked on determining the most desirable materials and geometry for our blade in order for it to adapt to our scenario the best that it can.
Our Scenario
The Roof Generator
Residential homeowners want to take advantage of the strong winds to reduce the electricity bills in Calgary. You have been contracted to design a mini wind turbine that can be easily installed on a residential roof.
​
Space considerations must be made since some houses are closely packed and the roof turbine must not collide with neighboring turbines or roofs.
