Resumen o descripción

The installed capacity of wind energy around the

world using big horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT) has grown

substantially in the last two decades. Likewise, research and

development of vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWT) for small

power applications has been increased during the last seven years.

This paper presents the performance analysis related to the power

output of a micro VAWT with three blades in helicoidal form,

based on computacional fluids dynamics simulation (CFD), using

Ansys Fluentr. In the analysis, several parameters related to

the aerodynamic performance were varied, keeping constant the

sweeping area. To compare results, a mathematical model was

created in Matlabr, using the double-multiple streamtube method

(DMST), which considers variations in relative wind speed

through the wind turbine. Results from both, CFD simulation

and DMST model, applied to the micro turbine are presented.
