Design of a Two Bladed Wind Turbine
Abstract
El objetivo de este Proyecto es diseñar, fabricar y testar una pequeña turbine de viento bipala de eje horizontal, con la meta de obtener máxima eficiencia posible en términos de eficiencia total. Consecuentemente, la eficiencia aerodinámica de la turbina Cp, la eficiencia del generador y su correspondiente acoplamiento son igualmente importantes en este proyecto. Los cálculos de este proyecto estan fundamentalmente basados en buscar un compromiso entre todas las eficiencias para obtener un funcionamiento óptimo.
De esta forma, esta memoria se centrará en el diseño de una turbina de viento biapala y un generador radial trifásico, buscando el mejor acoplamiento. Sin embargo, la torre y el rotor del generador han sido suministrados por mi Universidad de destino “Norwegian University of Science and Technology” y por ello, sus diseños quedan fuera del encuadre de este proyecto.
En resumen, este proyecto se centrará en el diseño, fabricación y ensayo de una pequeña turbina de viento de eje horizntal. Para ello, se utilizarán algunos programas como Matlab, Ashes, Excel, Inventor y SpruCam entre otros. Finalmente, se ha realizado un ensayo en el tunel de viento para confirmar que el funcionamiento de la turbina.
The aim of this project is to design, manufacture and test a small two bladed Horizontal Wind Turbine (HAWT) with the goal of achieving a high efficiency in terms of total efficiency. Consequently, the turbine mechanical effiency Cp, the generator efficiency and its coupling are equally important in this project. The calculations of this project are mainly focus on finding a compromise of efficiencies to achieve an optimal performance. Thus, this paper will be focus on the design of a two bladed turbine and a three phase radial generator taking into consideration their best match. However, the tower and the rotor of the generator were supplied by my destination University “Norwegian University of Science and Technology” and therefore their designs are out of the scope of this paper. To sum up, this proyect is focus on the design, manufacturing and testing of a small two bladed wind turbine. To do this, some programs like Matlab, Ashes, Excel, Inventor and SprutCam among others will be used. Finally, a wind tunnel test has been done to verify the turbine performance and see if simulations results are close to reality.
