Study of a 1.5 kW vertical wind turbine

Abstract

The aim of this work was the study of a 1.5 kW vertical Wind Turbine, made by Enersud, assembled above the Electronic Engineer Building of the Feevale University. The work consisted in the specifications of the Turbine (shovels), tower and control panel. This wind turbine generates 48 Electric Voltage Tension, connected in a 4-battery of 12V bank, that are connected to a 220 V three-phase inverter, and in its turn, is connected in a bank of resistive charge. The study included, in addition to the specification of the whole device, tests of the wind turbine in operation. In the tests, the wind turbine was unlocked, generating a Voltage greater than 48 V which was charging the batteries. In the output of inverter was generated a three-phase alternating voltage of 220V and frequency of 60Hz.
