DESIGN PRESENTATION
The background for the majority of the technical specifications of table 5.1 is provided in
the following detail chapters.
An overview of the development tasks, that are beyond the scope of this project, but
needed to fully complete the design proposal, is provided in chapter 12. This chapter addi-
tionally defines relevant spin-off projects that may be carried out within the framework of
EWB.

5.1 Summary
The developed design proposal was presented as a three-bladed HAWT with direct drive
and an upwind architecture, which uses a guyed tower as support structure. The wind
turbine was shown to be self-regulating by means of a passive yaw orientation system and
a gravity-controlled furling system.
The overall design was developed under great consideration to the demands and wishes of
the requirement list, thus fulfilling manufacturing, flexibility and performance require-
ments.
