Potential of Wind Energy and Design Configuration of Wind Farm on Puger Beach at Jember Indonesia

Abstract

Puger beach located at coordinates geography of latitude-longitude 8°22'29,63" L at - 113°26'50,56" L on which in coastal areas in District of Jember that have potential to research the development of electrical wind power station. The elevation difference becomes important parameter to get the most optimal wind speed. The higher of the wind power plants establishment location, the higher wind speed will be resulted. Therefore, the research was conducted to determine the most optimal wind speed from high difference that measured. The data taken from speed anemometer basis, wind direction that equipped by data logger system and temperature. Data that obtained during a month will be analyzed using Weibull. Based on the analysis that has been done, it obtained the optimal elevation 43.2 meters. At a elevation of 43.2 meter was obtained electric power average 6573.96 Wh per day with wind direction to the northwest. This direction will be used as a reference for the construction of wind power plants with a permanent system without position control turbine. Because when found the wind potency, the wind direction tends to northwest position. Because of that conducted research to know velocity of the wind using weibull analysis. With using weibull analysis obtained of shape parameter (k) and scale parameter (c). After finding out that the research place has the potential to the development of power wind station and then will be built wind farm on the Puger beach. From wind farm which analyzed using wind turbine 2000 W obtained with configuration 5Dx9D wake loss the smallest namely 13.81%. The big potential of power wind namely 16.22 kW/m 2 , the potential of electrical power equal to 59.57 kW and electrical energy produced on wind farm of 619.76 kWh.
