Abstract

The development of advanced power braking mechanisms for wind turbines is the focus of this study, which first examines the principles of wind energy conversion, wind turbine design, and control systems before diving into the principles of power braking mechanisms, including mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic braking systems. The study also looks at the limitations and difficulties of current braking systems and discusses new developments in the field. Wind energy has become a crucial part of the global renewable energy mix, providing a clean and sustainable source of power. This study highlights the vital role of advanced power braking systems in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of wind turbines. These systems are essential for managing the dynamic loads and high rotational speeds typical of wind energy generation. By enhancing control and stability, sophisticated braking mechanisms help prevent mechanical failures and extend turbine lifespan. The findings underscore the importance of continued innovation in braking technologies to support reliable performance and safety in modern wind turbine systems. The study’s findings provide valuable insights for developing next-generation wind energy technologies. They can aid policymakers, researchers, and industry experts in making informed decisions, driving innovation, and shaping sustainable energy strategies.

Keywords: Mini Wind Turbine, Power, site, Rural India, Installation, Capacity, Power Plant.
