Abstract

Demand for energy continues to increase lately due to the increase in the number of people in the world. The technology of wind turbine is currently under development, especially for a low wind speed characteristic. This study was research which was conducted to determine the output of voltage and current produced by the designed wind turbine. The direct current motor was used and worked as a generator of the wind turbine. Data collection of the outputs produced were obtained by the direct analysis using a fan. It was found out that the designed wind turbine could rotate with a low wind speed started from the wind speed of 1.5 – 2.4 m/s. Based on results, it concluded that the designed wind turbine had a potential to be converted into electrical power at a low wind speed area with the cut-in speed of 1.5 m/s.
