Diseño y Construcción de un Montaje Experimental para la Evaluación de un Aerogenerador Mixto Darreius - Savonius

Abstract

The degree project is focused on the design and construction of a device that allows the measurement of physical properties such as power, angular velocity, torque, voltage, among others, of a mixed wind turbine prototype that will be located at the Universidad Santo Tomás main campus.

Statistical methods will be used to obtain the theoretical wind speed at the main campus of the Universidad Santo Tomás. Based on this, parameters and requirements will be established for the design and manufacture of the device. The maximum loads that the wind turbine prototype will be subjected to during operation will also be determined.

Weibull probability criteria and information from the NASA and IDEAM portals will be used to obtain a theoretical value close to the speed at the Universidad Santo Tomás main campus. From the average wind speed value, the angular velocity at which the prototype will rotate will be obtained, and from this value, torque, power, and real-time voltage of the turbomachine prototype will be determined. A code will be designed to obtain these properties.

Once the device allows users to visualize these properties, it can be determined (along with all project information) whether the prototype is sustainable under local conditions and whether it is feasible to establish a real model to support particulate matter mitigation in the city of Bogotá through the use of clean energies.
