“…The radial wind flow in the vane of the inner wall pipe and the wind flow from the main stream will strike the ends of the elbows which generate additional force due to the change in momentum. [17] The wind turbine construction built in this study has the following parts: (1) Hub, (2) Blade, (3) Elbow Tip, (4) Shaft, (5) Generator Box, (6) Tail, (7) Tower, as shown in Figure 5. DOE (experimental design) comprises statistical and mathematical techniques for the development and improvement of optimization processes, which utilize experimental design, regression analysis, and analysis of variance.…”

The basic problem of appropriate wind energy technology is how to design wind turbines from materials that are easily available on the market, one solution is PVC pipe as the blade material. For this reason, it is necessary to analyze the working stress that occurs in the blade construction, so that the PVC pipe propeller wind turbine is safe when applied in society. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of wind speed and tip elbow width on working stress. The simulation test method uses SolidWorks Flow Simulation Software and then the results are exported to Static Simulation to determine the strength of the material. Simulation tests were carried out with wind loads on PVC pipe propellers with wind speeds of 5 m/s, 6 m/s, and 7 m/s and elbow tip widths of 100 mm, 110 mm, and 130 mm. The results of the maximum stress value in the wind turbine simulation test with the addition of an elbow tip were obtained at a wind speed of 7 m/s and an elbow tip width of 130 mm

At this time the power plant still uses a lot of coal fuel, so it is necessary to look for alternative energy, one of which is wind energy. Wind turbines are devices that can convert kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical energy which is then converted into electrical energy through a generator. The analysis method in this research uses Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Qblade, and experimental validation testing using a wind tunnel. The simulated airfoil types consist of 3 types, namely, NACA 4412, NACA 4415, and FX-60 100 (126). The simulation results show that, the most optimal airfoil is NACA 4412 with an angle of attack of 25° and a wind speed of 8 m/s can produce a torque of 3.55503 Nm, a pressure of 45 Pa, a tangential velocity of 55.495 m/s, and a rotational speed of 529. 94 rpm, while the smallest simulation results are on the FX-60 100 (126) airfoil with an angle of attack of 15° and the same wind speed of 8m/s can produce a torque of 1.60390 Nm, a pressure of 40 Pa, a tangential velocity of 9.06592 m/s, and a rotational speed of 108.2164 rpm. The results of experimental testing of wind turbines where the wind turbine used uses the geometry of NACA 4412 show that an angle of attack of 25 ° and a wind speed of 8m / s produces a large electrical power and rpm with a value of 7.98 Watt and 482.2 rpm respectively

“…In order to lower the costs of the wind turbine, an alternative material was found, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe. A common PVC pipe used for water systems can be used as a material for wind turbine blades when cut to the right shape (Wahyudi et al, 2022). PVC pipe material is a relatively cheap, lightweight and durable material to use for small wind turbines even though its performance is less than that of conventional blade materials such as epoxy, polyester, carbon and glass fibre-reinforced polymer (Ceruti, 2019;Garmode et al, 2022).…”

In this study, a small wind turbine prototype was developed to provide electric power for a mobile cooling unit The aim of this study was to design and develop a 600-W small wind turbine that can generate electric energy to power a mobile cooling unit used for the storage of fruits and vegetables, mainly for the benefit of smallholder farmers. Smallholder farmers suffer from high postharvest losses, approximated at 50%, some of which can be avoided by using efficient low-cost cooling units, rather than open transport. Cooling slows down the metabolic rate which consequently extends the produce's shelf life and prevents spoilage, allowing farmers to provide high-quality produce to the market. This could potentially increase the farmers’ monetary returns. The study was conducted in KwaZulu-Natal on the road that stretches between Pietermaritzburg and Estcourt. The wind turbine is made of a 600-mm-diameter rotor with three PVC blades, a permanent magnet synchronous generator, a bridge rectifier, a 230-V AC inverter and a battery for energy storage. The wind turbine was tested against three vehicle speeds of 60, 80, and 100 km h−1, and the two opening levels, level 1 at 45$$^\circ$$ ∘ and level 2 at 80$$^\circ$$ ∘ relative to the louvre mechanism frame. The results of this study revealed that the power generated by the wind turbine is greatly influenced (p < 0.001) by both the vehicle travelling speed and louvre opening level. The power output of 113.4, 159.6 and 210.0 W per hour was observed for the vehicle speeds of 60, 80 and 100 km h−1, respectively, on louvre opening level 1. The power output of 142.8 W h−1, 268.8 W h−1 and 294.0 W h−1 were observed for a wind speed of 60 km h−1, 80 km h−1, and 100 km h−1, respectively, on Louvre opening level 2. This shows that higher wind speeds (vehicle speeds) produce high-power output which accounts for the small size of the wind turbine rotor. A maximum power coefficient of 0.49 was achieved for this study. The wind turbine can generate the power required to run a cooling technology to a limited extent, thus must have a backup power supply from the diesel engine or be used in a hybrid system.
