The potential of wind energy in Indonesia is generally relatively less compared to other countries in the subtropical region. With the Darrieus VAWT Type Vertical Axis Wind Turbine, the turbine does not have to be directed to the wind to be effective. Mill with vertical axis, generator and gearbox can be placed near the ground, so the tower does not need to support it and is more accessible for maintenance purposes. Gearbox or transmission is one of the main components of the motor which is referred to as a power transfer system, the transmission functions to move and change the power of the rotating motor. To get a large turbine torque, a gearbox design (large size on the turbine, and a smaller size on the rotor generator) is needed. The number of blades used will also affect the effectiveness of the turbine in capturing the wind. With the number of 3 blades, get torque above 40 rpm, at wind speeds of 4.5 to 5 m/s.

Renewable Energy Resources are increasing in a few years, this is due to the increasing increase in environmental pollution and fossil fuels which are increasingly depleted. Both bridges and toll roads actually have wind speeds that can be used and used as electricity. But there is a problem to put the power plant on the bridge or the toll road, which is quite limited land, so to install the Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine will be very difficult. Therefore, Vertical Axis Wind Turbine is used as an alternative. VAWT is used to create power plants that can use wind from vehicles on toll roads and bridges to make electricity. To be able to take advantage of the wind around the place, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is needed to optimize the design of the turbine.

Methods FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) is a method for solving discrete signals which method IFFT (Inverse Fast Fourier Transform) is the reciprocal of the FFT method. Basically FFT only used for transformation and must not be separated from the method DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform). DFT is a mathematical transformation method for discrete time signal into a frequency domain. Examples for use of FFT-IFFT such as voice processing, OFDM and others. In this project the author designed the GUI for displaying the FFT and IFFT using LabVIEW. GUI design using Labview will inputed signal infromation or sample as desired and can be changed. From these results we obtained the value of V (amplitude), the value of the frequency and I/O (input/output) can be displayed in a single VI.
