Abstract

This article proposes the design of a power and torque measurement system for wind turbines. The measurement resolution is verified according to the Kline Mc Klintock equation, considering the uncertainty measurement in a load cell of 0.2% with the application of force at 3 cm and a resolution of 1 mm, and one revolution per rotation. Based on this project, it was determined that with the proposed instrumentation, the wind tunnel allows measurements of power up to 370 W for rotations up to 1200 rpm and force up to 1 kgf applied to the proposed load cell, obtaining an uncertainty of 7.4 W, i.e., around 2%.
