Summary: | Wind energy is categorised as a renewable source. Wind turbines are the main medium used to convert wind energy into electrical energy. In this project, a preliminary study of a small-scale wind power generation system is investigated. The way the tool works when the wind turbine rotates is that the generator will produce electrical power, which has been connected to the charger controller before the electric power is stored in the battery. The use of electric power from the battery will be converted using an inverter to convert the DC current to AC. From this study, the amount of wind energy used to generate electricity is dependent on the number of blades, wind speed, and distance. The 12V battery is fully charged within 2 hours with the parameter of 11 blades and a wind speed of 4.4m/s. Hence, the AC voltage, AC current, and power of appliances are calculated and can be accessed through the Blynk application on a smartphone. © 2022 IEEE.
