Wind Energy Lab

The Wind Energy Lab within the Renewable Energy Engineering department at Fahad Bin Sultan University provides hands-on learning experiences for students interested in harnessing the power of wind. This dedicated facility is equipped with:

                   1. Small-Scale Wind Turbines

 A variety of miniature wind turbines, including horizontal-axis and vertical-axis models, demonstrate the fundamental principles of wind energy conversion.

                    2.  Weather Station

 A weather station enables students to monitor real-time environmental conditions such as wind speed, direction, temperature, and humidity, providing context for their turbine experiments.

                   3. Blower

 A controlled blower allows students to simulate different wind speeds, facilitating the measurement of generated power and efficiency across various turbine designs.

                  4. Motors and Generators

 A collection of motors and generators supports experiments related to emulating wind turbine operation, energy conversion, and system control.

This lab serves as an invaluable resource for students to:

I.                    Gain practical insights into wind turbine technologies

II.                  Develop skills in measuring, analyzing, and optimizing wind energy systems

III.                Foster a deeper understanding of renewable energy solutions

The Wind Energy Lab exemplifies our commitment to providing students with cutting-edge facilities to explore the frontiers of renewable energy engineering.
