The introduction of wind turbines as alternate
energy sources to the community of San Salvador.

Abstract In recent times science and engineering
have found ways to produce energy with renewable
resources. One of these discoveries is the wind.
This energy is a pure, clean and high quality.
This requires a steady wind of 13 mph or more. In
addition large land needed for the installation
of wind turbines. After investigating the
characteristics of the community San Salvador
were able to conclude that wind energy is a great
alternative for these and for all Puerto Rico.
This community is an agricultural and land being
used for the installation of wind turbines can be
used for planting and animal husbandry. Puerto
Rico is an underdeveloped country and if we start
to create renewable energy resources we can
produce our own energy and money to be saved from
the purchase of oil can be used to restore the
economy of our country.
Introduction For years the energy used in most
parts of the world is produced by oil. The oil is
used more every day because this is a
non-renewable resource at any time can be
completed. Its price in 1990 was 7 a barrel
currently stands at 140 a barrel and the price
continues to rise. Puerto Rico is no exception in
the use thereof. The energy of Puerto Rico
depends on your vast majority of oil. Puerto Rico
is an island which is located in the tropics
which makes possessing large renewable resources.
Among the renewable resources that are in Puerto
Rico this solar, wind, water, waves, among
others. With these resources can create different
types of energy such as solar, wind power, tidal
power, hydropower, among others. If Puerto Rico
focuses on using these resources we can move from
one country to one totally dependent independent
on the production of energy and step improve our
economy. Finally, Puerto Rico has a host of
renewable resources that can be used to create
energy. If we begin to utilize renewable energy
we will save money to stabilize the economy and
so are independent. Only need to begin to use
them wisely. Moreover a colleague and I are going
to make a proposal for the establishment of wind
turbines in a community in which there are a lot
of wind, which can be used to create
energy. Background For years the world has
depended greatly on the use of oil and because
there was a non-renewable energy, this resource
can be quite a few years away. The oil reserve is
estimated that can cover 40 more years, and this
has been one of the main reasons why the price
has gone up exorbitantly. Actual most electricity
produced in Puerto Rico is in the thermoelectric
and these widely used oil, oil by using much the
fare rises and decreases due to seek new
alternatives to generate energy such as wind. Oil
is well-pollutant and toxic to the contrary that
wind energy is clean and pure The discovery and
premature exploitation of renewable energies like
wind energy can help make the world does not
depend on oil and reduce pollution in the world.
The only disadvantage is remarkable that birds
can die by the propellers of the wind turbine,
but a study found it increased the number of dead
birds against accidents caused by cars and
planes.

Description of Sampling Site


The area we chose to introduce the high wind
turbines is an area in which the wind speed is a
constant between 8 and 15 miles per hour.

- Make a survey to ascertain whether the
residents are in line with the
introduction of wind turbines.
- Then check the area where it will locate
wind turbines. -Create a map of the
area where they are going to put wind
turbines. -After checking the area,
to comply with the requirements,
beginning with the installation. Resul
ts and Discussion
Costs of wind generator for the entire
community Amount of houses 730 Amount and
price of wind generator 4 millions Maintenance
200,000 anually Total 4,200,000 Amount to pay
per house 5,755 dollars Amount to pay monthly
100 dollars ( loan to 5 years) Costs for personal
wind generator Price of wind generator for one
house 15,000 dollars Amount to pay monthly 250
dollars Energy that produce 240 volts
Conclusion After investigation we realized that
the introduction of wind turbine in the San
Salvador community is viable. This community
meets the requirements such as wind and space for
the implementation of the same. References 1)
