Abstract

Nowadays, wind turbine became one of the largest energy suppliers of energy in world. The focus point in the wind turbine system is where the wind is harvested and converted into useable energy by the wind turbine blade. This study emphasized on determining the efficiency of curved wind turbine blades for low wind speed in Malaysia. 3D printing technology was used as to develop the designed three-dimensional model of GOE 630 air foil blades and evaluation of aerodynamic characteristics by experimental testing. To achieve the highest extraction of the wind energy, a high efficiency of the wind turbine is needed. In this paper an attempt is made to compare the curved and conventional wind turbine, and which one is more efficient based on the ampere, voltage and rotation per minute (RPM).
