Project History

Created by Purdue BGI Club Developed to create a wind turbine feasibility study

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


BGI

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


BGI

Past Work (Spring 2009)

Did Initial Planning Researched Optimal Location for Turbine Researched Optimal Class of Turbine


BGI

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

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

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
