Abstract

Using wind power generation is another alternative for remote homes, where there is no electricity grid. Especially in Ecuador there are several places where the wind resource is really stable for the year, though at times the wind regime it becomes turbulent wind speeds become quite high exceeding 12 m / s affecting the wind turbine components.Generally in the Ecuadorian highlands are available permanent winds of medium intensity capable of generating electricity, but by having a system of turbulence for short periods of time it jeopardizes the deployed equipment and therefore the investments made by what this study guarantees the stability of small wind turbines that are very useful in our environment to generate electricity in field type housing shelters.

Highlights

The integrity and security in the delivery of electricity from the source to the load depends largely on electrical protection system against failures and external or internal disturbances, these failures are diverse and can be overload by overcurrent or short circuit, low frequency among others.The main function of a control system forewarn the electrical service and equipment before the failure occurs.The components of a wind turbine are designed to last about 20 years
In our case we endeavor to design the control system, with tests corresponding operating and make available to society a mechanism capable enough to prevent deterioration of the components of wind generators in the middle of Ecuador and the energy service is not affected due to the lack of control mechanisms on small wind turbines that are manufactured here and even lack of standards, given the experience that many of these machines being developed in our country do not care of this factor has trigger such as engine overspeed and component failure due to their high speed for short periods of time
The control system consists of three stages: 1. Input stage: This stage is responsible for driving signals from the speed sensor arranged on the axis of the central electrical generator to be processed immediately when too high a speed is detected and send orders to the electromechanical actuator type shoe I acted on said axis

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The integrity and security in the delivery of electricity from the source to the load depends largely on electrical protection system against failures and external or internal disturbances, these failures are diverse and can be overload by overcurrent or short circuit, low frequency among others. The components of a wind turbine are designed to last about 20 years This means they will have to endure more than 120,000 operating hours, often under stormy weather conditions. In our case we endeavor to design the control system, with tests corresponding operating and make available to society a mechanism capable enough to prevent deterioration of the components of wind generators in the middle of Ecuador and the energy service is not affected due to the lack of control mechanisms on small wind turbines that are manufactured here and even lack of standards, given the experience that many of these machines being developed in our country do not care of this factor has trigger such as engine overspeed and component failure due to their high speed for short periods of time.
