THE AXIS ACCELERATORS OF THE LOW-POTENTIAL WIND FLOW

The article discusses the prospect of using wind turbines to supply power to a relatively small and dispersed facilities located in areas with low load density remote from major electricity networks, oil and gas pipelines. In rural areas, where wind and water are essentially one of the cheapest sources of clean energy, there are broad prospects for the electrification of remote farms, rangeland, and infrastructures for communication systems. Then the article considers a method of accelerating the low-potential flows of external environment on the example of wind flow and identifies that the research on the application of different designs of flow boosters is important in order to increase the efficiency of wind power plants in relation to areas of low wind activity. The article presents the description of the experiment on the test stand designed to simulate the operation of wind installation. The test bed is a disc that let air flow through the slits with varying sizes.  One of the objectives of the research is the creation of the wind installation design with axial aerodynamic wind flow accelerator. The article presents computer and physical models of wind installation. The use of the proposed wind installation will increase energy production both in daily and annual period.
