Abstract
Wind energy is one of the potential renewable energy, but the applications have to beadjusted to the available wind characteristic in the area. In Indonesia, the wind speed is inaverage not very high, only around 4 m/s. Therefore the wind turbine design have to be adjustedfor usage in Indonesia. In this research, two wind turbine designs are compared. One design isof the form Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) and the other is of the form Vertical-AxisWind Turbine (VAWT). Both designs are optimized for wind speed of 4 m/s. The comparisonsare done using computer simulation software OpenFOAM. The result shows VAWT design canproduce similar power with smaller turbine dimension than the HAWT design.
