Integrating wind power into the electrical grid presents challenges due to the variable and unpredictable nature of wind. This variability can cause fluctuations in power generation, affecting grid stability and reliability.

The equation used to calculate wind turbine power is: Power (W) = 0. 5 × ϱ × πr² × Cp × CF × v³ where ϱ is wind density in kg/m³, πr² is the swept area of the turbine, Cp is the power coefficient, CF is the capacity factor and v is the velocity of the wind in m/s.

The power available in the wind is calculated by the formula: P = 0. 5 × ρ × A × V³. ρ (Rho): Air density (approx 1. A (Area): The swept area of the blades (π × r²). A larger rotor captures significantly more energy.

The stator contains six coils of copper wire, cast in fibreglass resin. Wires from the coils take electricity to the rectifier, which changes the AC to DC for charging the battery.
