RELATED PROJECTS
Material selection for the components of the SSWT
Structural analysis of the GFRP made wind turbine blade to suite dynamic loads in operation.
Designed the blade structure using SolidWorks 2022 and performed FEA simulations and modal analysis using Ansys 2022 for the blade to ensure structural integrity. Testing and validation to obtain Cp vs lambda curve for the SSWT design, by fabricating a test rig with the required electrical system.
Design and Development of a Small Scale Wind Turbine Final Year Project Aug 2023 - June 2024 Crank Shaft lifting Crane Mechanism DIMO PLC, Sri Lanka Designed and constructed a crank shaft lifting crane for a selected crank shaft grinding machine of the Engine Care department of DIMO PLC. The crane is designed to carry a maximum load of 500kg excluding self weight at the farthest point (9 feet) from the cantilever support. The load distance from the pivot point is adjustable from a carrier and chain lever block.
