Quantitative analysis of a wind energy conversion model

Abstract: A rotor of 12 cm diameter is attached to a precision electric motor, used as a generator, to make a model wind turbine. Output power of the generator is measured in a wind tunnel with up to 15 m s −1 air velocity. The maximum power is 3.4 W, the power conversion factor from kinetic to electric energy is c p = 0.15. The v 3 power law is confirmed. The model illustrates several technically important features of industrial wind turbines quantitatively.

“…In this context it is necessary to promote the study of this energy type at universities; it is also required to develop educational projects (with low cost) that help students under-stand their operation and learning about renewable energies and its relation with other subjects like Electrical Machinery. Recently works had been focused on this topic [3,4].…”
