Wind Turbine Scene

Introduction

The wind turbine model is animated to show the yawing motion of the turbine and the rotary motion of the blades. This turbine is a three blade lift design wind turbine.This 3D model shows all major components associated with a typical wind turbine, these include:

  • Blades
  • Nacelle
  • Rotor Hub
  • Bedplate
  • Gearbox
  • Generator
  • Control Unit
  • Electrical Transformer
  • Tower
  • Various motors for yawing and pitching etc.

This 3D model also shows machinery associated with power distribution from the wind turbine, these include:

  • Dry Type Transformer (Cast Resin)
  • Open air switchyard
  • Fluid Insulated Transformer
  • Electrical Pylon
