Abstract

This research focuses on exploring the potential of wind energy in coastal areas that can be converted into a source of renewable energy, particularly wind power. Despite its considerable potential, the utilization of wind energy for electricity generation remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to analyze and design a wind turbine system to optimize the use of renewable energy along coastal regions, serving as an alternative source of electricity in these areas.

In this study, an alternative power plant prototype is designed to convert kinetic energy into electrical energy using two types of Savonius turbines: the U-type Savonius turbine and the vertical Savonius wind turbine. The research focuses on analyzing the number of blades and blade angles to determine the optimal configuration that produces the highest power output.

The variations in blade number used in the U-type Savonius turbine are 2 and 4, while the vertical Savonius wind turbine uses 3 and 4 blades. The blade angles tested are 10°, 15°, and 20°. The system is designed so that wind energy rotates the turbine blades, which then turn a shaft connected to a generator to produce electricity. The higher the wind speed, the greater the shaft rotation, resulting in increased electricity generation.
