Simple HAWT Prototype Efficiency at Small Scale Wind Speed
Abstract: Nowadays, the wind
energy research for alternatif anergy has been progress. Wind energy can be
found if the wind turbine is available. Based on rotation axis, wind turbin has
been classified to Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) and Vertical Axis Wind
Turbine (VAWT). This paper explains
simple HAWT prototype to 200 ohm resistor and LED at small scale wind
speed. The blade material is acrilic. This material property is light, no easy
broken, no corrosive and easy to find it. The blade model is flat plate
section. Rotor diameter is 1 meter. The research was did at the beach.
Permanent magnet synchronous generator is used to change wind energy to
electric energy. The result shows that the generator increase linearly with
wind speed. Measured wind speed was 1.9 m/s to 3.9 m/s. Average efficiency of
HAWT prototype was 6.2% at delta connected load and 3.7% at wye connected load.
