c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 ANALYSIS OF WIND POWER GENERATION WITH APPLICATION OF WIND TUNNEL ATTACHMENT ABSTRACTThis study presents an empirical method for developing a new approach in which a wind tunnelapparatus is used to improve the power generation efficiency of a small wind turbine. A custom-designed wind tunnel attachment was used to evaluate the performance of the wind turbine. Theexperimental investigation consists of measuring upstream and downstream wind velocities aswell as power output from the wind tunnel attachment. The power generated by the wind turbineat different wind velocities was used to develop a characteristic performance
