RYAN JANSSEN R. SANCHEZ & JOHN PIERRE S. PEREŇA, Design and Construction of a Vertical Axis Wind Power System. An Undergraduate Design Project, Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, Adviser: Engr. Ronald P Pena. This study titled "Design and Construction of a Vertical Axis Wind Power System" was conducted to integrate the lessons acquired from the Electrical Engineering program. The study aimed to determine the wind speed at Cavite State University, Naic, Cavite; determine the appropriate size of generator to be used; provide the university a reference for the future researchers; evaluate the system in a span of one week; provide an illustration of the behavior of the resulted power output; and compute the project cost. The study covered the design and construction of the vertical axis wind power system that has been evaluated based on the factors affecting the power generation and performance of the study such as time, distance from the shoreline where the study was installed, and the height from the ground. It was found out that at time frame from 13:00 to 19:00, 20 feet to 30 feet from the shoreline, and 8 feet from the ground, the device was at its 100 percent power generation. The Vertical Axis Wind Power System showed significant amount of potential in terms being an alternative source of energy because wind is the cleanest and the cheapest of all the option available. The system was able to avoid the production of hazard to the environment such as killing of migratory birds, and noisy nasty sound unlike the traditional type of wind turbine, without compromising the power output. Based on the results of the study, the proponents recommended the national agencies and other researchers to align their interest in strategic assessments and funding adhered to the development of renewable sources of energy which can eventually help our economy. The total cost of the study was P 39,805.
