Large scale wind turbines have been broadly examined for decades but only few studiesconducted on the small scale wind turbines. This study on micro wind turbine provides the analyticaland experimental results on dynamic characteristics of „Glass Filled Nylon‟ blades. Then wedetermine the parameters such as natural frequency and mode shapes of micro wind turbine for adomestic application. These dynamic characters are important to know for the further studies on itsperformance and life of the wind turbine and it provides the information to set a safe rotational speedof the turbine blades. A detailed 3D finite-element model of the Micro wind turbine is created usingCreo parametric for the simulation and the material properties of Glass filled nylon.Numerical res ultsobtained by using Ansys work bench and experimental results obtained by using DSA setup for thefirst four modesare validated and are within the limit.
