The use of wind energy is a decisive factor for human development, associated with the environment and capacity of people exploiting this vital resource. The investigation is part of predicting the behavior of the temperatures inside the nacelle of the Goldwind wind turbines S50 / 750 models installed in the Gibara Wind Farm. It supports its theories and analysis of computer-aided design (CAD), by monitoring the working temperatures, which interact with the forced ventilation system in the studied devices. The values analyzed result from continuous measurements carried out by the SCADA systems (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) of the studied machines. Which allows the diagnosis and early visualization of unforeseen incipient failures that currently occur under operating conditions standardized by the manufacturer. When the wind reaches speeds that exceed 11.5 m/s, major aggregates such as the gearbox and the generator fail. The results obtained in the investigation will allow to correct the program in the PLC (Logical Control Program) for the start-up and stop of the cooling system of the wind turbines in order to generate an ideal thermal balance for the working condition activities in Cuba, inside the nacelle, reducing the frequent occurrence of critical temperature values in the maximum limit that put the wind turbines out of service and therefore providing the wind farm with a higher coefficient of technical availability.
El artículo sintetiza los resultados de la investigación titulada “Diseño e implementación del prototipo de un hidrogenerador eléctrico”, realizada en el grupo de investigación Macrypt de la Facultad de Ingenierías de la Universidad de los Llanos. El objetivo del proyecto consistió en diseñar e implementar un generador eléctrico a partir de la energía suministrada por una fuente hídrica. La metodología utilizada fue la de un proyecto factible y experimental. La potencia eléctrica generada por el prototipo fue equivalente a un kilovatio de potencia eléctrica y tensión de salida de 12 voltios, con una eficiencia del 95%. El prototipo fue puesto en funcionamiento en un cuerpo de agua cercano al municipio de Villavicencio (Meta), en la Vereda La Argentina con coordenadas geográficas: en latitud 4° 12’6.82” N y longitud 73°38’24.51”O a 546 m sobre el nivel del mar.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
