10 The problem: Usually wind turbines do not work efficiently at low wind, i.e. at wind speed less than (3-5) m/s. We considered the possibilities of creation device to convert wind energy at low speed for solution the problem of creating autonomous power supply system according to climatic conditions. Novelty of this work is that it is oriented to small buildings and farm houses, distant from the line of centralized electricity networks.

13 Main characteristics of the working part of the wind tunnel are follows: - the diameter is 500 mm; - the length is 800 mm; Rotational speed of the sail type wind turbine model is (50-100) rev/min Fig.11.

21 CONCLUSION A model of a sail type wind turbine with dynamically changeable surface shape of the blades was developed. This model effectively works at low wind speeds. Due to the self-regulated surface shape of blades a sail type wind turbine can efficiently convert of airflow energy even when the direction of airflow is reversed. The dependencies of the drag force and traction force at various speeds and directions of airflow were obtained. The results obtained will be used for engineering calculations in the development of sail type WDPP, operating at low wind and generating a given amount of electricity.
