The Wind turbine is a tool used in Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS). The wind turbine produces electricity by converting wind energy into kinetic energy and spinning to produce electricity. Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) is designed to produce electricity from winds at low speeds. Vertical wind turbines have 2 types, they are wind turbine Savonius and Darrieus. This research is to know the effect of addition wind booster to Savonius vertical wind turbine with the variation 2 blades and 3 blades. Calculation the power generated by wind turbine using energy analysis method using the concept of the first law of thermodynamics. The result obtained is the highest value of blade power in Savonius wind turbine without wind booster (16.5 ± 1.9) W at wind speed 7 m/s with a tip speed ratio of 1.00 ± 0.01. While wind turbine Savonius with wind booster has the highest power (26.3 ± 1.6) W when the wind speed of 7 m/s with a tip speed ratio of 1.26 ± 0.01. The average value of vertical wind turbine power increases Savonius after wind booster use of 56%.
Steam power plant Generation of Tanjung Jati B 3rd unit has a capacity of 660 MW. The power plant operational in 2011, because of the long operation process, there will be a decrease in performance. The plant needs to be researched to analyze the performance and losses that occurs in the power plant. Because this also affects the environment if the efficiency of the power plant is high, it can reduce the use of coal. Because coal becomes air pollution and environmental pollution, which can cause acid rain, water pollution, and global warming. This research is used to analyze energy and exergy on the components of a steam power plant. From the results of this research, the largest of destruction exergy boiler is 881.08 MW and the exergetic efficiency is 48.66%. While the rate of the smallest destruction exergy in LPH 3 is 0.6 MW and the exergetic efficiency is 94.45%. The contribution of the largest Losses energy in the boiler is 231 MW and energetic efficiency is 87.05%. While the contribution of the smallest energy Losses in HPH 6 is 0.74 MW and energetic efficiency is 99.23%.
