Abstract:
The article discusses the results of research on the effectiveness of wind-driven power plants of
small and medium power. The results of tests of two different models of wind turbines combined with a
specially designed low-speed electric generator under the conditions of natural wind are discussed. A
description of the device and technical parameters of wind turbines is presented. The dependences of
electro-physical characteristics on the speed of natural wind during a long time are obtained. It is shown
that the power generated by an electric generator with a wind wheel with cylindrical blades is greater
than the power of a generator with a sail-type wind wheel.
