Brief Description (Abstract):

Wind Energy Division of NAL has been experimenting with designs of windmill suitable for Installation at Indian Antarctic Base, Maitri. Antarctica with its extreme climatic conditions has made this task difficult as it has been found that yawing effect associated with gusty winds cause machine failure. This was also found true for the new prototype Savonius type vertical axis windmill introduced to charge batteries during 20th Indian Antarctic Expeditions. It was observed that the bearing design safety factors considered were not sufficient for use in Antarctica.

Status: Completed

Purpose: Wind Energy Division, National Aerospace laboratories initiated Wind energy related studies during XVI Indian Scientific Antarctic Expedition. Main objective of the programme was to determine wind energy potential around the Maitri station, utilization of wind energy for Indian Station Maitri and to provide support for field experiments.
