| Abstract | ||||
| In this paper, we discuss the future plans of our research group at the National Research Center. One aim is put forward as our focus in this research work. We would like to make the manufacturing of small scale wind turbines possible in remote areas in Egypt using locally available parts and tools. Many internet sites and references are revised for the realization of this aim. A wide search for the know-how is underdone to understand how to build a similar prototype of a wind turbine to the ones found over the internet with the same properties or at least comparable to them. The different electrical components of a wind turbine and their functions are illustrated. The possibility of controlling the direction of the yaw of a wind turbine is explained and the effect of it on the overall performance of the wind turbine is shown. | ||||
