Abstract

ABSTRACT In this design, a 1-blade standing fan of 25 watt capacity capable of 6 hours of continuous operation is to be powered with Photo-voltaic (PV) module of 80 watt power rating. Also a minimum of 85% efficiency was designed for and the fan runs at a low torque of 0.95Nm. The fan blade rotates at a tip speed of 500rpm rotates on a 10mm diameter shaft. In order to maintain a constant operation during the night and when the sun is not at its peak, a 75Ah 12V battery has been considered suitable for power storage assessor.
