ANALYSIS OF SELECTION OF WIND TURBINE AS A SOURCE OF ADDITIONAL ELECTRICITY IN THE TOURISM AREA BANYAK ISLAND, INDONESIA

Abstract The Banyak Island in Aceh Singkil-Indonesia have been developed as a tourism destination that has great potential to bring in regional foreign exchange. Electricity consumption in this area is only supplied by using diesel power plants. The development of renewable energy sources for power generation is very prominent which is carried out to overcome the reduced availability of fossil energy sources. In addition, the burning of fossil energy sources will have an impact on environmental pollution and the production of gas emissions. Environment due to the use of fossil-based electricity, it is necessary to develop alternative renewable energy based on wind turbine. To implement wind turbine in the Banyak Island, a study of the potential of wind turbine resources must be carried out. The method used in this research is quantitative type with data processing and descriptive approach. Analysis of wind speed data in 2020 in the tourist area of Banyak Island was carried out with the Weibull distribution equation, parameters k = 2.935758902 and c = 8.921518. The data obtained were analyzed using analytical methods to calculate wind energy potential and its conversion into electrical energy. After analyzing the wind speed data in 2020 in the Balai island tourist area with the Weibull distribution equation, the parameters k = 2.935758902 and c = 8.921518. Through capacity factor analysis, it is known that small-scale wind turbines produce energy of 115,154 kWh/year per turbine.
