A DESIGN OF WIND POWER ELECTRICAL PLANT FOR LIGHTING AS AN ALTERNATIVE ELECTRIC SUPPLIER

Abstract

The availability of electrical energy derived from fossil fuels will be reduced with the increasing  human energy needs. This research is the application of wind power used for lighting. The wind resulted in the propeller can rotate existing power plants and generates an alternating electric. The electricity is then rectified and stored into the accumulator through MPPT charging system is controlled using arduino so that charging can be set in accordance with the existing battery capacity. at night the stored electricity used for lighting. The results of this study indicate that the monitoring of 24 hours average wind speed of 2.5 m / s, the highest peak wind 4.5 m / s for 3 hours. These conditions resulted in average power is 0.2 kWh / 24 hours. Accumulators used 12 V 7.5 Ah 3 units with a capacity of 0.25 kWh  used interchangeably charging system. Expenses that are used in the form of 10 W LED lamp controlled by the light sensor and active at night so it can be lit for 5 nights without  wind.
