Abstract
The Savonius wind turbine is a type of vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) that offers advantages in terms of design simplicity, ease of manufacturing, and the ability to operate at low wind speeds. These characteristics make the Savonius turbine suitable for application in urban areas and regions with limited wind potential. However, compared to other types of wind turbines, the Savonius turbine still exhibits relatively low performance and efficiency, thus requiring further studies to improve its performance. The performance of the Savonius turbine is influenced by blade design parameters and operational conditions, particularly blade thickness and wind speed. This study aims to analyze the effects of blade thickness variation and wind speed on the performance of a Savonius wind turbine using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. The performance parameters analyzed include the power coefficient, torque factor, and turbine efficiency, providing a comprehensive overview of turbine performance under various operating conditions. The simulation results indicate that the turbine power output increases with increasing wind speed. The highest power output of 9.85 W was achieved at a wind speed of 7 m/s with a blade thickness of 5.5 mm. However, an increase in wind speed does not always result in higher power coefficient and efficiency. At higher wind speeds, the power coefficient and efficiency tend to decrease due to increased drag forces and aerodynamic losses caused by turbulent flow around the blades. The variation in blade thickness also has a significant effect on turbine performance, where thicker blades produce more stable and efficient performance within the investigated wind speed range. Further research is recommended to conduct experimental validation to improve the accuracy of the simulation results. Keywords : Wind Savonius Turbine, CFD, Blade Thickness, Wind Speed, Power Coefficient
