Abstract

A wind turbine is a power generating device that is driven by the kinetic energy of the wind. The kinetic energy will converted into mechanical energy by rotating the generator shaft and generated the electricity. Wind turbine generator is a generator that has a low initial cost compared to other power generators. This project will introduce the theoretical operation of wind turbine generators which are rarely used in Malaysia. Moreover, this study presents an experiment by running a simple construction of wind turbines. Besides generating electricity from a wind turbine, this paper brings a new possibility to develop a wind turbines using wasted energy from the excess air released from outdoor unit of air-conditioner. For this process, 60% of the materials used to build this wind turbine is a PVC pipe started from tower to the foundation and 20% from the CPVC material used for blade construction. The rest consist of the used of motor and electronic components that are used to stabilize and filter the output voltage of the generator. The performance of the wind speed of excess air release, voltage and current output were recorded in order to analyze data performance. Therefore to make sure that all the objectives for the Bachelor Degree Project is achieved, the experiment and procedure must be done properly by referring the scope of the project.
