 INTRODUCTION

In this study, the researchers would develop a wind
turbine system that would help Filipino houses
located in urban areas like subdivisions to have
electricity without relying greatly on the grid.

The researchers have chosen to use a diffuser

augmented type wind turbine or commonly known
as D.A.W.T.
 INTRODUCTION

One of the promising advanced concepts for
overcoming the economic deterrents to widespread
use of wind power is the DAWT(Diffuser-
Augmented Wind Turbine).

DAWTs maximize the power output than the other

unshrouded turbine. (according to Foreman and
Oman on Diffuser Augmentation Of Wind
Turbines, from 1976-1977)
 OBJECTIVES

To design, develop and fabricate a sustainable wind
turbine suitable for providing electricity to
residential houses without being dependent on the
grid

To produce 200 watts of electrical energy from the

output of this study
 IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY

to the benefit of the society especially minimum
wage earners and below in producing a cleaner and
cheaper form of energy

to have their own electricity without relying in the

grid of the power companies thermal plant
 TARGET
BENEFICIARIES/CLIENTS

Community
to produce their own cheap and cleaner form of
energy and avoid high charges incurred by power
companies
Humanity
Clean form of energy means good health.
 REVIEW OF RELATED
LITERATURE

According to Herbert, Iniyan, Sreevalsan and
Rajapandian on A Review Of Wind Energy
Technologies recommended the use of renewable
energy resources like wind energy to help reduce
the dependency on fossil fuels.

According to Tummala, Velamati, Sinha, Indraja and

Krishna on A Review on Small Scale Wind
Turbines, from 2014-2015 they preferred a
decentralized small scale wind turbine over the
installation of large scale wind farms.
 REVIEW OF RELATED
LITERATURE

According to Perez, Marquez, Tobias and Papaelias
on Wind Turbine Reliability Analysis, from 2012-
2013 larger wind turbines fail more frequently than
smaller ones.

According to Foreman and Oman on Diffuser

Augmentation Of Wind Turbines, from 1976-1977
they proposed one of the promising advanced
concepts for overcoming the economic deterrents to
widespread use of wind power is the
DAWT(Diffuser-Augmented Wind Turbine).
 SCOPE AND
DELIMITATION

This study primarily focuses on improving and
redesigning the rotor blade and the shape of the
diffuser of a diffuser augmented wind turbine or
commonly known as DAWT that would best suit the
condition of the research locale.

The testing field would be subjected and be limited

only to urban residential areas. Other fields of
application like industrial plants, universities and
company buildings will not be considered.
 SCOPE AND
DELIMITATION

The improved turbine shall only be limited to
produce and power 200 watts of lighting system only
for a single household found in an urbanized
residential area.
 METHODOLOGY

The first part of the study would be the literature
review.
This phase would be achieved by exhausting all
forms of media outlets like books, journals,
magazines, articles and the Internet.
 METHODOLOGY

The second part of this study would involve site data
gathering.
In this part, the environmental and climatic
conditions of the selected house in a subdivision
shall be gathered.
Conditions to be gathered will be:
average wind speed
air temperature
relative humidity
 METHODOLOGY

The third part would involve the designing process.

The researchers would apply the data that they have

gathered in the literature review in determining the
materials to be used.

Autodesk Inventor shall be used in sketching and

modeling the design.
 METHODOLOGY

The next part would involve simulation using
Autodesk Inventor.

Designing and Simulation would be repeated until

the desired results would be achieved.
 METHODOLOGY

The next step would be the purchasing of the
components, and materials to use in fabricating the
desired design of the researchers.
After purchasing, the next step would be the
assembly and fabrication. In this step the purchased
materials would be fabricated solely by the
researchers to cut cost.
After the fabrication process, testing and evaluation
shall follow, alteration with the turbine design shall
commence when operation defects and a like shall be
found.
