Abstract

The Force of Wind is wind power divided by the speed of the wind. Electric generator power generated from the data of wind speed and wind turbine shaft speed is by utilizing the kinetic energy of wind into the effective area of the turbine. The broad sweep of the Savonius wind turbine is designed with a rotor diameter, D = 52 cm, and height of the rotor, H = 36 cm. The Savonius rotor is designed with two blades. Two semi-circular shapes covered with a sheet of aluminum. Savonius wind turbine is a device that utilizes wind energy to generate mechanical power. Two Savonius turbine design is done in this study, has an aspect ratio of 0.7. Design 1 Savonius turbine has a mass of 3.29 kg load and design 2 Savonius turbine has a mass of 2.32 kg load. Design 1 was not spinning in the wind speed interval of 1-4 m/s. Design 2 can rotate in the wind speed interval. The mechanical power in this research was found at the power range 0,4 – 2 W. By changing the broad sweep of the Savonius turbine, power generation purposes in the power range of the generator 7-25 Watt can be obtained.
