Abstract

The study related to the generation of electricity through wind turbines and the installation of wind farms has become increasingly important as the need for clean and renewable energy production grows. This article looks to determine the energy efficiency of a horizontal axis wind turbine by means of a wind generator, analyzing the blade geometry, its positioning, and among other factors. For this purpose, fifteen measurements of voltage and current generated by different wind flow speeds were performed, reading the input and output speeds of the wind turbine blades, to later be made a theoretical analysis in order to determine the electric power used by the turbine under the conditions presented.
