Abstract

Wind energy is a less-attended renewable energy due to the lack of information about its potential. Some pilot wind turbines were not managed properly and built without considering to the technical feasibility. This study aims to propose a preliminary design of an Arduino-based small wind power generation system. The electricity which is generated by the wind charges the battery. It supplies power of information system which transmits the data of wind speed and wind direction from the remote location to the web server through GPRS network. The remote location which is completed with mobile data coverage is essential for this study. The results of this study are (1) the battery charging stop automatically when the battery is full (2) the data of wind speed and wind direction can be accessed through web browser or Android Smartphone. The data can be used for further analysis to determine the potential of wind energy at the site.

Highlights

  • Today’s world is faced with challenging conditions such as the depletion of fossil fuel resources, the increase of carbon emissions, and the global warming [1]

  • To change from fossil fuel energy use, people are starting to look for alternative energy uses, which are more environmentally friendly solutions[2]

  • These alternative energy uses renewable recourses to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels and the carbon emission and improve the air quality

Summary

Introduction

Today’s world is faced with challenging conditions such as the depletion of fossil fuel resources, the increase of carbon emissions, and the global warming [1]. To change from fossil fuel energy use, people are starting to look for alternative energy uses, which are more environmentally friendly solutions[2]. These alternative energy uses renewable recourses to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels and the carbon emission and improve the air quality. Some pilot wind turbines were not properly managed and built without concerning to the technical feasibility. It raised the growing doubts about the potential of wind energy in Indonesia [7]
