| Summary: | Low-power (1 kW) horizontal axis wind turbines offer a viable alternative for clean energy generation in homes. By applying the theoretical models of Rankine-Froude and Blade Element, this work presents a detailed design that contributes to reducing the dependence on fossil fuels and promotes energy sustainability. This paper presents a detailed design process of a 1 kW horizontal axis wind turbine using the Rankine-Froude and Blade Element theoretical models, for which NACA 44xx series airfoils have been used, and MATLAB® has been used to calculate the airfoil profile to subsequently build the wind turbine. The statistical analysis of the wind resource (10 m height) for the city of Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico, where the operational tests have been carried out, shows that with a minimum wind speed of 6 m/s, electrical energy can be generated. |
