摘要:This paper gives an overview and comparative characteristics of the main rotors available today, with properties suitable for the climatic conditions of Almaty and Almaty region, along with their critical mode of operation. A number of studies is carried out analysing the intrinsic features and capabilities of rotors, through which the problem of choosing an optimal rotor model for the subsequent design of a wind generator control unit is solved. One of these studies is a computer simulation of the main existing rotors operating in the same climatic conditions. The selected model must fully comply with the given environmental conditions of the selected area, in which the maximum wind speed and its critical value are set for all the studied rotor models. Thanks to the comparative studies on the technical characteristics of the most commonly used rotors, as well as to the modelling results, conclusions are drawn for the most effective and optimal choice to be employed in the design of a wind generator for the climatic conditions of the Almaty region.
