Abstract

Renewable energy is a solution to displace non-renewable energy resources with the wind turbine being one of the prominent the renewable energy sources. Research on wind turbines still ongoing to be advanced. The Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWTs) are more widely utilized for electricity production, Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) offer distinct advantages not found in HAWTs. However, VAWT has several benefits that are not present in HAWT, so research on VAWT must continue with the aim that VAWT can be developed into a commercial power generator. This paper is a form of Darrieus VAWT research development. The demonstration of Numerical Simulink Method can be found here to evaluate the performance of Wind Turbine such as the values of power coefficient, angular velocity, and torque. The input parameters are a symmetrical airfoil with 15% thickness, a radius of 0.5 m, a height of 1 m, and a chord length of 0.2 m. Numerical analysis using the Novelty Simulink Model is carried out so that engineers or scientists can evaluate VAWT performance under various conditions for further research. This paper also presents a graph depicting a relationship between all output parameters with wind speeds starting from 1 m/s until 12 m/s. According to the study's outcome, these have a relation with increasing wind speed. Moreover, this research provides evidence that the VAWT can work properly at low wind speeds (less than 12 m/s).
