Project 1 - Renewable Technology Challenge: Mechanical design of turbine blades in renewable wind technology

In this project, we designed a turbine blade component inside a wind turbine. We did this by considering its mechanical properties and performance. We first began by exploring the technology and learning about the design specifications. We then were assigned a specific scenario (EWB Humanitarian Aid Mission) to further develop a conceptual design and decide on a material based on our top objectives. Finally, we used CAD modelling to determine the most suitable blade dimensions to withstand the load requirement. 

 

Through this project, I got the opportunity to further my knowledge in using Engineering Computational Design Tools for material selection (ANSYS Granta EduPack) and CAD modelling (Autodesk Inventor 2021) as well as the design process.
