Abstract
Energy industries are nowadays struggling with the most effcient source of energy generation.
The list of energy resources is huge starting with traditional coal and going through the different
technologies until reaching the controversial nuclear reactors. One of the most interesting areas
in energy generation is the renewable energy technologies. Among the different renewable energy
sources, this project will be focused on eolic energy generation via horizontal axis wind turbines
(HAWTs). Specifying the scope of this project,
the three main areas that will be considered are detailed hereinafter:
1. Analysis of eolic energy technologies and its state of the art.
2. Analysis of mathematical equations governing the physical phenomena regarding air flows
over eolic turbine blades.
3. Improvement of eolic turbine blades airfoil profiles.
The analysis and study of these new energy sources is a field that offers plenty of opportunities
and a deeper study and further improvement of both, the mathematical model and devices that
are used to study the production of these new energies, is needed. For the purposes of this project,
focus and efforts will be placed on the study of eolic energy.
