Abstract

The application of wind turbines in an area as a power plant will always experience obstacles in choosing the type and number of blades used to produce stable electricity according to the specifications of the wind turbine itself. Low wind speeds to be able to produce electricity in a wind turbine can be done by choosing the right type and number of blades. Assuming that the larger the area of the blade slapped by the wind, the greater the conversion of wind power that is converted into electrical power. With this assumption, the author tries to increase the number of blades on a covinous type wind turbine to determine its effect on the electrical power produced and to find out the number of blades that are suitable for the wind turbine to be applied in the author’s area of origin, namely Badung Regency, Bali. This research was conducted using an analysis method for data collected at a laboratory scale, with confounding factors minimized. Data on electric current and voltage were recorded for the turbine generator at three wind speed levels with blade numbers of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The study found that electrical power increased with both higher wind speeds and more blades, but odd-numbered blades consistently produced more power than even-numbered ones. In Badung Regency, the optimal configuration was 6 blades, generating 628.18 Watts at the highest wind speed of 5.47 m/s, suitable for a 500-5000 Watt generator.
