Resumen:
A new wind turbine design for domestic use in urban and semi-urban areas
has been studied to examine their implementation and efficiency. In this
work, the development of a wind turbine, based on the beehive shape is
proposed for possible domestic implementation in urban and semi-urban
zones. A first prototype is presented and results of testing it in a
mobile assembly are reported. The wind turbine was designed using CAD
and to compute the air flow pressure distribution on the blades and
assess the mechanical response of the turbine, computational fluid
dynamics (CFD) and static structural simulations were performed. The CFD
results showed pressure on all the wind turbine blades and a small
pressure increase in the cavities generated by the beehive arrangement.
On the other hand, the prototype was manufactured using a 3D printer and
tested under working conditions on a mobile assembly in urban and
semi-urban routes (freeway and highway, respectively). The revolutions
per minute of the turbine and the relative wind velocity were measured
and employed for structural simulations. The results demonstrated that
the proposed beehive wind turbine is able to operate on urban and
semi-urban areas.
