Modelado, simulación y construcción de una turbina de viento DIAWIND-A2 como una nueva alternativa de generación eléctrica en áreas rurales de Ecuador

Abstract

This paper presents the mathematical model, the simulations performed before the construction of an 800W wind turbine for the rural areas of Ecuador. Subsequently, the project went to a laboratory research stage and using the MATLAB some simulations were carried out seeking the highest possible performance. The simulations were based on the characteristic parameters of the wind turbine, which should provide energy to rural households, outside the network of conventional electrical distribution. The power generation is possible at very low speeds because the rotor of an alternator was used for this case, permanent magnets were coupled and has a dynamic orientation system product of sensation of greater wind flow through a weather vane. At the end the wind turbine was submitted to functional tests in the town of Puntahacienda of the Quingeo Parish of the Canton of Cuenca-Ecuador.
