According to several authors, it ispossible to quantify the kinetic energy generated by air flow through blades of awindmill, determining the potential of this system to generate electricity power,according to the following formula [4]:E=0.60*[(p*D 2 *r*V 3 )/8]Where:E is the Kinetic energy, in Watts;0.60 is the effective efficiency of this system;D is the diameter of the turbine (1.0m);V is the air velocity (5.5m/s as average)Based on this, the potential kinetic energy generated by the proposed system is45W. Some wind turbine manufacturers suggest values from 28 to 120W forequipments with the same characteristics [6 and 7]. This means that the naturalventilation system considered in this project (containing 15 windmills) could631
