dc.description.abstractAn investigation of a fluid brake device designed to convert wind energy to heat is reported for small to moderate size wind turbine applications. Fluid devices of three different geometries with vaned rotors were examined for power capacity and operating range. Converted size and geometry was related to rotational speed through a parametric study of the wind turbine and fluid energy converters. Wind tunnel tests, laboratory experiments, and analytic techniques lead to the development of three candidate hydraulic convertersmatching the 10m diameter Wind Furnace Model Four.
