Kajian Eksperimental Pengaruh Jumlah Sudu Terhadap Torsi Dan Putaran Turbin Savonius Type U
Abstract: Wind energy is one
type of energy that is expected to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, which
are increasingly reduced in number, in the utilization of wind turbine
technology is required conformity with the characteristics of wind turbine
where it is used. For it has been tested against U-type Savonius turbine with
two blades and three rotor blades, to determine the effect of rotor blade
against rotation and torque and power that is able to produce. Test results
showed that: At no load condition, the rotor blades savonius two starts
spinning at a lower wind speed (0.5 m / s) and has a rotational speed higher
than the three rotor blades at the same wind speed. Three blade Savonius rotor
was started generating torque and power at lower wind speeds (1.8 m / s) than
the two rotor blades and produces more power at the same wind speed. Power that
can be raised Savonius rotor diameter of 40 cm and a height of 60 cm on average
wind speed - average Indonesia (<4.5 m / s) was very small and unable to
produce the expected energy. To take advantage of wind energy as wind power
plant with a Savonius rotor type N, it is suggested that using a rotor with
larger dimensions and the number of blades is more, according to the diameter
of blade.
