Prospect of development wind power plant taking into account the visual range of wind turbines location and determining the efficiency of the wind flow transition at rotors of veritical axis wind turbines.

Proposed method of calculating structural elements of blades of wind machines is not connected with intuitive selection of approximating functions of rigidity of structural elements. Application of the proposed design method showed necessity to introduce not only transverse reinforcing elements into the blade of the windwheel, but also longitudinal ones, which will allow to increase the generated electric energy from the small area of wind power plants location. The advantage of the proposed method for calculating the structural elements of wind machine blades is that it is not associated with an intuitive selection of approximating functions. The use of the calculation method showed the need to introduce not only transverse reinforcing elements, but also longitudinal ones into the wind wheel blade. We recommend that these elements be made in the form of a longitudinal corrugation laid between the transverse elements of the blade. The rigidity of these ribs will allow you to obtain a constant flow passing through the paddle wheel. The research conducted is not sufficient to determine the limits of the ratio of potential to electricity generation that can be achieved in practice at real wind farms. This value will depend on the stability of local air flows in the surface layer, spatial density, altitude, and the actual resistance of wind turbines. Further study of the interaction of these parameters is necessary, which is the focus of our current and future research.
