Abstract
The energy potential of wind turbines, considering their different formats, brings countless application possibilities as technological alternatives for different emerging sectors. Among these sectors is aquaculture, the productive activity of aquatic life organisms, which is expected to be the next major world frontier in food production, in where Brazil has potential protagonist, being among the world’s largest fish producers. Thus, Brazilian aquaculture is experiencing a technological intensification of crops where, among the main applied technologies, is aeration, an important factor to increasing of crop densities in fish farming. Given the above, abroad and unrestricted overview of the needs present in the environment, coupled with knowledge of existing technologies and their applications, make it possible to allocate not widely explored technologies as alternatives for carrying out works where their constructive characteristics sum up to the environment, filling technological gaps and meeting two needs that are still not much observed. From this perspective, the present work proposes the project for the construction of a Savonius wind turbine for the use of wind energy as a propellant for an aeration device to the aeration of ponds in aquaculture, thus constituting a renewable and clean energy source applied to the development of the rural environment. Theoretically calculated values indicate that the proposed wind-powered aerator meets the demand of 0.5 kg O2/h, with the wind turbine operating with winds of the order of 10 m/s and power around 180 W.
