Pakistan, despite the enormous potential of its energy resources, remains energy deficient and has to rely heavily on imports to satisfy hardly its needs. Moreover a very large part of the rural areas does not have the electrification facilities because they are either too remote and/or too expensive to connect to the national grid. In order to fill the deficiency we have to produce and install cheap wind turbines which can fulfill our energy crisis requirements. The aim of the project is to design a three bladed wind turbine prototype. Its simulation is done in Autodesk Mechanical Desktop 2007�, carved in wood and fabricated in reinforced Fiber Glass. The blades are designed for Pakistan’s optimum wind speed i.e. 7 m/s. Moreover, the control system includes the Yaw Control Mechanism which is controlled by onboard embedded system. The anemometer, vane sensor and incremental shaft encoder give the continuous feed back to control the direction and hence speed of the Rotor for maximum efficiency and safety purposes. The speed of the wind and the RPM (Revolution per minute) are continuously monitored and displayed on the controller board. The artificial intelligence software predicts the unknown parameters and gives the complete dimensions of the blades.
