This project is to design a low speed wind turbine which it able to produce an electricity to charge 12 V of battery. Wind is a renewable energy which able to generate electrical energy. In this project, Savonius type of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) is mainly focused. Savonius type is choosing because it is most suitable to operate at low speed of wind area. The objectives of this project are to design a suitable wind turbine for low speed; which able to generate electricity and design a direct current, DC converter (DC-DC Booster). The design of Savonius wind turbine is then attached to alternative current, AC rotor. This process is conversion energy from kinetic to electric. The energy produced by the rotor is rectifying to DC before it boosted up to 12 V DC by the DC converter circuit designed. This project has covered from the Savonius turbine design until 12 VDC is produced and able to charge a nominal 12 V battery. The performance of the output voltage using this design had improved and can be commercialize. In market, this design able to compete with existing products on the market. This is because the design is cheaper and affordable compared with the existing design in the market. This project design has proven its ability to be used as one of the products to generate electricity, based on the results achieved in this project. 2014-01-21T06:43:20Z 2014-01-21T06:43:20Z 2011-05 Learning Object http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/31365 en Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) School of Electrical System Engineering
