Abstract

There are still many villages in remote parts of Indonesia that have not enjoyed electricity from the State Electricity Company due to various obstacles, namely the distance between people's houses which are far apart, limited capacity of generating machines. For this reason, it is necessary to develop alternative energy sources that can replace fossil-based energy sources with renewable energy such as water, wind, solar, geothermal, biodiesel, bioethanol, biomass and other energies. The potential renewable energy source in Indonesia is the use of wind energy as a wind power plant. This research was conducted with a real experimental method with the aim of knowing the effect of large variations of the steering angle on the performance of the elliptical Savonius wind turbine, so that it can be used as a reference for designing wind power plants so that they can be applied to the community. The results showed that the guide with an angle of 45 O produced the highest power coefficient value of 0.41. Then followed by a guide with an angle of 55 O which produces a power coefficient value of 0.32, while a guide with an angle of 65 O produces a power coefficient value of 0.18. The highest coefficient occurs at wind speeds of 4 and 5 m/s.
