Abstract

The wind energy sector is rapidly growing and has become one of the most important sources of renewable power production. New technologies are being developed to increase energy production. This study focuses on developing and evaluating a 3-D printed micro-wind turbine system for residential electricity production. The effectiveness of using Poly Lactic Acid material for model production was assessed using the SolidWorks environment. Then, three–dimensional CFD model was developed to simulate a micro-wind turbine. The CFD model was validated in good agreement against scale physical model experiments performed in a wind tunnel. The results demonstrated that the 5-blade micro-wind turbine design was the most effective under the tested conditions, with a low cut-in speed and the ability to operate under torque up to 70 N.m. Finally, the currently available manufacturing processes for micro-wind turbines have been evaluated. Future work should evaluate the performance of the MWT system under realistic conditions in a site test to determine energy production and total efficiency
用于住宅发电的3D打印微型风力发电机的研究
风能部门正在迅速发展,并已成为可再生能源生产的最重要来源之一。正在开发新技术以增加能源生产。本研究的重点是开发和评估用于住宅发电的3d打印微型风力涡轮机系统。使用SolidWorks环境评估了使用聚乳酸材料进行模型制作的有效性。然后,建立了微型风力机的三维CFD模型。计算流体力学模型与风洞物理模型实验结果吻合较好。结果表明,在测试条件下,5叶片微型风力涡轮机设计是最有效的,具有低切割速度和在高达70 N.m的扭矩下运行的能力。最后,对目前可用的微型风力涡轮机制造工艺进行了评估。未来的工作应该在现场测试中评估MWT系统在实际条件下的性能,以确定能源产量和总效率
