SIMULATION

MOTIVATION
many energy experts in Indonesia considers wind energy development is
not feasible. but this is a challenge to realize wind energy. Many installation of windmills in Indonesia did not make the wind turbines based on
the properties. to understand the nature of wind and designing in accordance with nature windmills is the high efficiency and high power
coefficient can be obtained. This study will design VAWT array with multilevel optimization.

ARRAY OPTIMIZATION

CFD simulation is used to predict the value of the function to be optimized,

ie Sliding Ratio (Cl / Cd), TSR, Cp, and Annual Energy Production (AEP)

MULTI LEVEL OPTIMIZATION

Optimization will use Design of experiment, Artificial Neural Network, and
global optimization method .

BLADE SHAPE OPTIMIZATION

Configuration array optimization and analysis to get optimum

power generate to area, and also AEP.

PROTOTYPING
To Validate simulation and optimization, the prototype will built in
scale and full size.

OBJECTIVE
1. increase the single turbine power coefficient based on a combination of chord length, angle of attack, the number of blades, and the
wind speed varies.
2. increase the power output of the turbine array, by analyzing many
turbine configurations, and the effect of the turbine in front of the
turbine which is behind. so that the maximum annual energy production (AEP) can be obtained.

Optimization Blade parameter to increase lift coefficient and decrease drag

coefficient and wake effect to other blade, based on NACA blade.

TURBINE PART OPTIMZATION

WIND TUNNEL TEST

In wind tunnel, single Scale model and array scale model will
test to achieve TSR value and calculating for Cp.

3. Manufacturing Prototype and do some test.

FIELD TEST
The field test VAWT array mounted
side by side, with the HAWT array
and the performance will be compared.

One possibility is to integrate a prototype array on Pulau panjang district in Banten Province. A public display of renewable
energy acts as a permanent outreach tool, encouraging engineering, art, and future sustainability projects in green energy . The result of this study would be a high-density energy
harvesting technology, involving modular, exchangeable, inexpensive, lightweight devices, an increase of renewable energy in Indonesia environment.
