| dc.description.abstract | World is struggling to mitigate climate change due to uses of fossil fuel for energy gen- eration and also searching substitution for fossil fuel in energy sector. Wind energy is one of the lowest environmental impact forms of clean energy available today. In order to convert wind in to energy many technologies are used up to know from small o grid to large wind farm wind turbine. However, it's di cult to nd cost e ective and durable Micro wind turbine for o grid use to generate electricity in rural part of Ethiopia which is in dark for a long period of time. This study aims to Design And develop Three Small Generators operated Micro Wind Turbine with production capacity of 2:4KW, to o -grid use for rural part of Ethiopia with durability and low cost relatively to current Micro wind turbine. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is used to manufacture the small wind turbine blade and Three small generator are driven by direct coupled external ring gear with turbine axle. PVC blade is manufactured with best twist angle through the radius of blade for better direct wind contact to get better energy extraction from low wind speed. This Three Small Generators operated Micro Wind Turbine development costs took up to 28,885 ETB. At the end of this research is done and commercialized the electricity demand can de- crease in o grid users, the electricity coverage can cover rural (remote) area of Ethiopia around 30 Percent of the rural population which is in need of electricity. | en_US |
