    Diseño de un aerogenerador de baja potencia en la comunidad de Río Blanco, provincia de Tungurahua
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica. Carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica, 2017-08) Aguilar Castro, Cristóbal Andrés; Mayorga Pardo, Alex Santiago
    The present technical project consists of the design of a low-power wind turbine for the supply of single-phase AC power for a house located in the Río Blanco Community, from Ambato, Tungurahua province. Based on the demand study, made on the local wind power and estimated consumption, a useful power of 178 W was established as design parameters which corresponds to a micro-wind system, other parameters are a design speed of 12.63 m/s, NACA 4412 aerodynamic profiles with three blades, a length of 1.30 m. each one, and built of wood laurel, operating height to 11m. through the use of a folding tower, additionally a permanent magnet generator, an acid lead battery, and an inverter that converts the voltage from 12 V DC to 110 V AC were incorporated. The main components of the wind turbine are the blades, the electric generator, the orientation system, the support tower, the inverter, and the batteries or accumulators. This wind turbine allows meeting the basic energy needs of a local family and represents an important contribution to the development of the community, taking into consideration the living conditions of the beneficiaries, who do not have stable economic income and do not have an energy supply from public network.
