Exxon Valdez :: Visual Root Cause Analysis. Project Initiation Documents - Project Management Tools from MindTools. Getting Your Project Off to a Great Start © iStockphoto/kzenon Have you ever been part of a project where not everyone has the same view of where the project is heading? This lack of clarity can breed confusion: People start pulling in different directions, building up unrealistic expectations, and harboring unnecessary worries and fears. While it's normal as part of a project to put the detailed plans, controls and reporting mechanisms into place, how do you get everyone on the same page to start with? This is accomplished by creating a Project Initiation Document (PID) – the top-level project planning document. Your Project Initiation Document does the following: Defines your project and its scope.Justifies your project.Secures funding for the project, if necessary.Defines the roles and responsibilities of project participants.Gives people the information they need to be productive and effective right from the start.

By creating a PID, you'll answer the questions: What? Tip: Note: Background.

This section usually has three parts to it which are: 2.1 Project Scope Statement 2.2 Proposed Solution 2.3 In Scope for Project Example 2.4 Out of Scope for Project Example 2.1 Project Scope Statement This section details what the project is going to deliver. Wind Energy | Renewable Energy Sources. In our old post “Wind Turbines” we explained you about the basic horizontal and vertical axis wind turbines. This post will explain in details the various parts in a Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine. Parts: Anemometer: Measures the wind speed and transmits wind speed data to the controller. Blades: Most turbines have either two or three blades. Wind blowing over the blades causes the blades to “lift” and rotate. Brake: A disc brake which can be applied mechanically, electrically, or hydraulically to stop the rotor in emergencies.

Controller: The controller starts up the machine at wind speeds of about 8 to 16 miles per hour (mph) and shuts off the machine at about 65 mph. Figure: Various parts in a Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Gear box: Gears connect the low-speed shaft to the high-speed shaft and increase the rotational speeds from about 30 to 60 rotations per minute (rpm) to about 1200 to 1500 rpm, the rotational speed required by most generators to produce electricity.
