Abstract
This paper describes a design and implementation of a low power wind turbine. The designed turbine is a Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT), meaning that axis of rotation is parallel to the ground. Rotor, blades, supporting hub, and drive train are designed using computational software. Implemented wind turbine was tested and experimental results were obtained for 3.5 m/s to 9 m/s wind speed.
