Abstract

Much research has been conducted to develop the construction of wind turbine thus produces the optimum electrical power. The construction development that has been carried out is by varying the shape of blade, angle of blade, number of blades, staging blade, shield, and deflector. Author tried to optimize the use of shield construction (guided-box tunnel) by making the variation of circular shape. By guiding wind to the blade that is dragged can increase turbine power proportional to the torque value. Therefore, the aim of this research is to find Coefficient of Power (Cp) and torque value of deconstructed Savonius wind blade type U using circular tunnel. The designed rotor is a savonius type -U of 2 blade rotor. The dimensions of the rotor are designed to be smaller than the previous research which has the diameter of savonius rotor of 250 mm and an aspect ratio of 1: 1. Circular tunnel dimensions was slightly widened, with the diameter of 270 mm and height of 400 mm. Cp with circular tunnel increase 2,5 times of the value Cp without circular tunnel. Meanwhile, the addition of circular tunnel caused the decrease of torque value even though it was not significant.
