This project is about testing if high altitude wind energy is feasible or not. My part of this project was making a 3D topographical model of a region in Cuzco, Peru that would provide the maximum wind energy yield. This model was done by using wind pattern maps, topographical mapping, fusion works for dimensions and features and laser cutting. What was special about this project was that it contributes to a plan of renewable energy throughout Peru that would provide rural communities with more power which is where I am from. During this project, there were no direct instructions on how to do this research project which was different from class projects. This really had me ask more questions on the project and do more research on similar projects. I experienced the engineering process of designating, constraints, criteria's and iterating during this project. The challenge that arose during this project was time constraint based on the method of constructing the 3D modeling. For 3D printing it would have taken a month to print the whole model which was over the time to have it finished. By making the model out of cardboard and having a memory foam inside , it cut down the time. When wind analysis was done, there was sufficient wind generation in the wind turbines, however it was found that there is a higher risk of wind energy in high altitude regions.
