Project Number: LDA 1004 wind TURBINE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION Major Qualifying Project Report: Submitted to Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By Date: March 5, 2010 Approved: Professor Leonard D. Albano, Advisor i Abstract This project examined the DESIGN of a land based wind TURBINE considering various alternatives including soil and foundation type, TURBINE size and type, tower DESIGN , type of site, and wind speeds. In addition, a cost analysis of the chosen wind TURBINE DESIGN was completed.
recognized the importance of wind power and have invested in the development of wind turbines. In fact, wind energy is the only renewable resource that has grown faster than predicted.4 At the end of 2007, the wind energy generating capacity in the United States was 16,818 MW.5 In 2008 alone, 8,358 MW of wind energy was added6
