Target Group: New Service Technicians
Learning Objectives: Technicians can understand the level of transfer between the wind input power and the actual electrical power output
Overview
A wind turbine generates electric power from the wind. How much wind power is ultimately converted to electric power? As a technician, it is important to understand the generated electric power is not corresponding with the wind input power.
Please watch the following GIF to have the first idea.
Design Process
I organized the simulation using Articulate Storyline. The most challenging aspect was incorporating the animation of a wind turbine. As an experienced user of Articulate Storyline, I discovered that the only possible motion path for the turbine was a circle, but this would cause the turbine to follow the circle path instead of spinning. To fix this issue, I adjusted the width and height of the circle path to 1px, which limited it to the spinning center of the turbine.
Please switch the bar to know the path difference from switching to 1px.
Results and Giveaways
The final wind turbine simulation was given away.
