Current Situation in Bambui Ø 50, 000 – 70, 000 People ØShortage of electricity from the main power grid from mainland Cameroon ØMulticultural town with different tribes under one Chief ØSurrounded by high area with constant rain and humid climate EMvitality
Considerations ØGeothermal Power Converting the energy stored in the subsurface of the earth into electrical energy ØHydro-Electricity The production of electrical power through the use of the gravitational force of falling or flowing water ØSolar Energy Heat from the sun harnessed using a range of technologies such as solar heating, solar thermal energy and artificial photosynthesis ØWind Power Wind power is extracted from air flow using wind turbines or sails to produce mechanical or electrical power EMvitality
Why wind turbines? ØDecided on a small scale project for load shedding hours only ØHas to be efficient, maintainable and cost effective ØWind energy is the best option ØVertical vs Horizontal Turbines ØVAWT’s are Effective at low wind speeds and self starting EMvitality
Design ØBe innovative, original and professional ØConsider ethical issues ØIncorporate different technologies ØReasonably cheap materials ØEquations needed for calculation ØBattery? EMvitality
What to expect ØFinalised CAD ØMore research into distribution of power and storage ØMore calculations and improvements to the design ØA small scale model/prototype ØKeep checking our blog posts for weekly updates EMvitality
