Abstract

In some regions with an abundance of wind resources, wind power generation is commonly used to generate electrical power. Vertical-axis wind turbines can be used to generate electricity. The increase in the VAWT price and the unpredictability in wind speed that can get variable power production. Besides that, there was also a literature review on the performance of wind turbine when implemented at blower application since the wind generated from blower was very strong. Hence, it is necessary to study the operation of VAWT systems and investigate the effect of wind speeds on wind turbine performance, measure the output of wind turbine at the blower application by using different type of material, sizing, weight, and shape of the wind blades., and test and develop how the old motor can be converted into the generator for the VAWT to generate electricity. The VAWT has successfully been built with different types of material for the wind blade. The anemometer, digital multimeter, clamp meter was being used to measure the performance for this project and was being tested in high wind speed (m/s) rooms. The analysis result shows the old motor can still produce a small amount of energy when becoming the generator and the faster the wind speed (m/s) flow will contribute to the very high output VAWT will produce that make the project objective 1 and 3 being achieved. Thus, the aerodynamic design, low weight plus with strong material for wind blade provide high efficiency on wind turbines that make project objectives 2 been achieved.
