Home-Scale Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Design

A wind turbine to generate power can harness the wind. Movement of the turbine blades generates electricity when connected to a generator, which then sent to the power grid. By the year 2019, electricity in Indonesia rises to 50,530 MW, and by the year 2024, is projected to rise to 74,536 MW. This research purpose is to design a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT), which should be affordable enough (less than US$ 500), and capable to generate enough power for a small household. The design intended to provide an alternative power source for houses in a remote area with no or limited power source from power plant.
