This study presents the development of the Biomimetic Wind Energy Capture System (BCEE), a technological innovation designed to mitigate efficiency bottlenecks in distributed wind microgeneration. The research problem is anchored in the low performance of conventional wind turbines in urban environments and the urgency for solutions aligned with Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 7 and 13 of the 2030 Agenda ONU. The Research, Development, and Innovation (RD&I) methodology comprised rapid prototyping cycles and comparative experimental wind tunnel tests, employing an architecture based on angular deflectors inspired by natural fluid dynamics. The results demonstrate that the BCEE System neutralizes negative torque and optimizes kinetic capture in low-intensity wind regimes, surpassing the state-of-the-art in power density per occupied area. It is concluded that the BCEE constitutes a high eco-value technology, suitable for decentralized manufacturing and integration into smart grids. Future projections indicate the feasibility of scaling for industrial and large-scale applications (onshore and offshore), consolidating biomimicry as a strategic vector for energy autonomy and technological sovereignty within the context of sustainable local development.
