Abstract
Recently, the renewable energy technology attracts global attention. Although, wind energy do not plays a central role of energy production in Japan. One of the strategy to keep the development of wind energy is student education about the wind turbine technology. However, to educate both theory and actual practice at the same time for student who have less technical skills is difficult in introductory education. In this study, we developed the experimental teaching material for college student, using horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) generator paper model, wind turbine calculation software (QBlade) and Arduino compatible system board. The teaching material provides the experience about a method of developing the optimal airfoil design of the wind turbine rotor blade with "assembling the original wind turbine paper model" and "fluid calculation of the rotor blade by GPL wind turbine calculation software". Furthermore, it provides the learning opportunity about a method of developing the simple data acquisition system by using Arduino compatible system board.
