2. 2 Introduction  Jared Freyer (Project Leader, Webmaster)  Senior, Mechanical Engineering  Fahad Ahmad (Recruitment Officer)  Sophomore, Mechanical Engineering  Anthony Christie  Freshman, Engineering  Yuanhua Cheng  Freshman, Engineering Wind Turbine Project BGI

3. 3 Project History  Created by Purdue BGI Club  Developed to create a wind turbine feasibility study Wind Turbine Project BGI prarieroots.files.wordpress.com

4. 4 University Need  Promote the sustainability and need for wind power in Indiana  Using the wind turbine as a living laboratory  Possibilities  Design new/efficient turbine blades  Design new/efficient turbine engines  Study wind/weather on Purdue’s campus  Provide power to the intramural field lights and feed power back into the Purdue power grid Wind Turbine Project BGI

5. 5 Goals of the Project  Get approval from Capitol Projects Council to allow a wind turbine to be constructed  Fundraise money to construct a wind turbine on campus  Make an educational component to go with the wind turbine Wind Turbine Project BGI

6. 6 Past Work (Spring 2009)  Did Initial Planning  Researched Optimal Location for Turbine  Researched Optimal Class of Turbine Wind Turbine Project BGI

7. Location Requirements  Height  Height of turbine and crane for installation restricted to 756 ft above sea level  Due to FAR Part 77  Structure may not be more than 150 ft above airport elevation  Purdue Airport sits at 606 ft above sea level  Electrical Tie-ins  Duke Energy lines west of McCormick Rd  Purdue power lines east of McCormick Rd  Wind Quality  Determine where the most consistent wind power can be found  Generally related to topography of region 7 Wind Turbine Project BGI

9. Site of Interest  Planned installation near the intramural fields  Site is close to the northwest substation  In close proximity to Purdue power lines  Higher elevation than surrounding area  Highly visible to Purdue students  Proximity to campus would allow for easier educational access 9 Wind Turbine Project BGI

14. Turbine Selection  Large Wind (≥ 1 MW)  Due to siting restrictions large turbines will not be possible  Medium Wind (50 kW to 500 kW)  More feasible with height restrictions  Less efficient than large wind  Small Wind (1.5 kW to 50 kW)  Much less efficient than larger sizes  Less attention demanded 14 Wind Turbine Project BGI

15. Current Work (Fall 2009)  Finalized Decision on Turbine Selection  Calculated Local Average Wind Speeds  Presented Proposal to ALDP  Submitted CPC-1 Paperwork 15 Wind Turbine Project BGI
