Modeling of Wind Power Generation in Tegal Region using Matlab Simulink

Abstract

The increasing energy demands require larger energy production. However, fossil energy sources are depleting, necessitating the use of renewable energy to replace fossil fuels and meet energy needs in Indonesia. Indonesia has a significant wind energy potential. Wind power generation modeling is carried out in one of the cities in Indonesia, namely Tegal. By using Matlab Simulink, it is expected to assist in predicting renewable energy production. Tegal is one of the regions with high wind speeds in Indonesia, specifically at 3 m/s. From the modeling, the optimal blade radius and rotor angular velocity that can generate maximum power at a wind speed of 3 m/s can be determined. Wind power generation in Tegal with a wind speed of 3 m/s has the potential to produce electrical power of 768.55 W.
