Nando : Indonesia has great potential in terms of renewable energy, especially wind energy, because Indonesia has many

coastal areas. wind energy utilization on the beach very good use of wind turbines darrius type, because this type of wind turbine has a vertical shaft, so it does not depend on wind direction.

Gustri : ok, but sorry we do not agree with you. its shape when viewed from this turbine has only two blades, the theory has a number of wind turbine blades have a few very low torque. if the torque is produced low it means that the efficiency of wind turbines is not optimal.

Richard : wind turbine blades that have a bit of it has a low torque, but with winds on the coast, the wind turbine rotor has a very high spin. so that the electrical energy is proportional to the rotor rotation speed. that is why wind turbines is very potential to be used in coastal areas.

Dwi : Oh, it is your thingking. according to our group, a wind turbine blade with a small number do have a very high rotor rotation, but whether the very high rotor rotation will also produce a large electric energy?. if viewed from the rotor condition, the wind turbine can not be directly spin quickly. at the start of rotation, the wind turbine should be given great momentum forces, so it takes time to get round a stable rotor. then how if wind direction has changed positions, while the rotor rotation is not stable yet?. of course this is very inefficient.

Tiwi : precisely because it is the wind turbine is suitable for coastal areas, because as we know, in the coastal area has only two wind direction, the sea breeze, which occurred at night, with the wind blowing from land toward the sea and land winds, which occur during the day, with the wind blowing from the sea to the mainland. so the time required by the rotor rotation to reach the stability point there is about a day and a night or twelve hours. long course of time available is sufficient for the stability of rotor rotation.

Rika : ok, on the beach there are two directions of wind, the land breeze and sea breeze. where the wind is blowing in a different time, ie day and night. but it is not sufficient to measure the efficiency of wind turbines this price, because according to the opinion of my colleagues said, the turbine must have energy to start early when the rotor turns. It means, dihasilakan electrical energy by wind turbines is reduced due to use of the initial energy rotor rotation. so the efficiency is also reduced.
