- Abstract
The wind is a natural resource that will always exist and will not run out. To convert wind into electrical energy that is useful for humans, it takes a Wind Turbine machine. Renewable Energy Design laboratory Untirta has a wind turbine called the Sultan Wind Turbine. This turbine requires a guiding tail fin to help the turbine always face the direction of the wind. The purpose of this study was to determine the best shape of the guiding tail fin based on its damping effect. The method used in this research is experimental. The guiding tail fin to be studied must be scaled by the dimensions of the wind tunnel used. The manufacture of steering tail fin using 3D printing. The experimental results in the wind tunnel in the form of video are converted into a sinusoidal graph. Each graph is compared and searched for the best in terms of time, amplitude, and waveform. From the data analysis, the best graph is obtained, namely the graph of the design of the right triangle fin with the number of waves as much as 1.5 waves, the highest wave peak of 0.0201 m and the attenuation time of 13.4 seconds.
