Abstract
This article examines the types of wind turbines operating around the world, with a special focus on applications in Kazakhstan, aimed at considering engineering solutions that can improve the efficiency of wind power plants of various sizes and designs, and, as a result, provides solutions for the provision of a new installation. This is due to the fact that one of the main problems with their use is unstable wind conditions: the average annual wind speed is low and turbulence is high. These factors require a revision of traditional design solutions. The harsh climatic conditions of Kazakhstan, including low temperatures and frequent glaciation, pose serious risks when operating wind turbines. As a result of the literature and patent review, a new installation based on the prototype was proposed. Diagrams of the proposed method for improving the design of a wind turbine are shown. This is due to the fact that small wind turbines (up to 100 kW) can be widely used in autonomous and distributed power supply systems, especially in remote and hard-to-reach areas.
