Abstract

Wind power generation is gaining popularity as an environmentally friendly renewable energy source. However, the output voltage of a wind generator usually varies according to the wind speed, requiring a power converter to produce a stable DC voltage. The author of this research aims to implement a Joule Thief Buck-Boost Converter on a neodymium wind power generation system. Joule Thief is a DC-DC converter that has the ability to convert a low input voltage into a higher output voltage, and can maintain a relatively stable output voltage despite changes in the input voltage. In this study, a Joule Thief buck-boost converter is used to regulate the output DC voltage of the neodymium wind generator to remain stable despite the changing wind speed. System testing is done by measuring the output voltage of the neodymium wind power plant. The test results show that the Joule Thief Buck-Boost Converter can maintain the output DC voltage at a stable value of 14V at input voltages above 3V, so the implementation of this converter in neodymium wind power plants is proven effective in producing a stable DC voltage. This research is expected to contribute to the development of a more efficient and reliable wind power generation system.
