Dimensionamento e construção de um protótipo de uma turbina eólica

Abstract

With a view to improving the quality of academic training and boosting the use of renewable energies, the present Work was elaborated and has as its theme: Dimensioning and construction of a prototype of a wind turbine. The wind turbine is used to generate electricity through wind energy which is a clean and renewable energy source. The main objective of the present work is to dimension and build a prototype of a wind turbine that can be used in classes for didactic purposes, and to achieve this objective consultation on websites, bibliographic researches based on books, manuals, scientific articles were carried out and use of CAD and Excel software. The turbine prototype presented in the following work has blades with a cross section in the form of aerofoil which shows the importance of studying aerodynamics for the design of wind turbines, the prototype also has smaller dimensions (1.354 m high) which makes it handle, and can easily be presented in a classroom as a didactic object, and develop a power up to 6 w being able to feed a high brightness LED lamp demonstrating in an easy way the use of the wind turbine for the generation of electric energy.
