- Abstract
Indonesia has ample renewable energy potential, with wind energy primarily available in coastal areas or on islands. According to the National Energy Council, Indonesia’s wind energy potential reaches 154.9 Gigawatts (GW). However, its use for electricity generation is still very limited, accounting for only about 0.102% or 157.41 Megawatts (MW). To promote the development of wind energy in line with the Strategic Research Plan (RENSTRA) of Bali State Polytechnic 2021-2025, this study conducted a comparative analysis of the energy conversion performance of two types of wind turbines: horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT) and vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) at the Renewable Energy Laboratory, Department of Electrical Engineering, Bali State Polytechnic, Bukit Jimbaran. A blower was simulated as a wind energy source. The energy conversion performance of HAWT and VAWT was tested under various wind conditions by adjusting the blower’s rotation speed and its distance from the turbines. The results showed that under low and unstable wind speeds (blower distance of 200cm with low and medium speeds), VAWT performed better than HAWT. Conversely, under stable wind speeds (blower distance of 100cm with low, medium, and high speeds), HAWT demonstrated superior performance, producing output voltages of 9.2V, 13.65V, and 14.18V, respectively, compared to 0.44V, 2.48V, and 3.18V.
