STUDY AND DEVELOPMENT OF A WIND TURBINE MODEL

Abstract

Energy production is a central topic in reducing climate effects due to the relationship between energy consumption and technological advancements. Wind energy stands out as a promising alternative, converting the wind's kinetic energy into mechanical energy. In Brazil, it is seen as a strategic solution for the energy matrix. This study analyzes a wind turbine, correlating geometry and setting, using 3D models in Autodesk Inventor and Dassault SolidWorks software, along with simulations to assess efficiency. Preliminary results from the simulations indicate a relationship between efficiency, geometry, and the number of blades, with the model featuring fewer blades being prioritized as a hypothesis for methodology development, although not the only one.
