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. An integrated DESIGN sheet was produced for the development of a wind TURBINE . Once the prim ary factors in the DESIGN of a land based TURBINE were determined, the implications for an offshore TURBINE were investigated.
This project addressed the design constraints set by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) in order to meet the requirement of capstone design experience for the Major Qualifying Project. As stated by ABET General Criterion 4, “Student must be …
