Effect of Adding of Pitch on the Darrieus Blade Against the Cut In Speed of the Savonius Type S - Darrieus Type H Hybrid Turbine

Abstract

Abstract This research was aimed to analyze the effect of adding pitch angle to the performance of a Savonius Hybrid Type S-Darrieus Type H-Rotor wind turbine with variations in wind speed. This research used an experimental method with variations in pitch angle and wind speed. Variables taken in this study are wind speed, pitch angle addition, and wind turbine cutting speed. Variations in the addition of pitch angles are 0°, 5°, 10°, 15 °, 20°, 25°, 30°. The results showed that the addition of pitch angles to the blade influenced the cut in speed. The highest cut in speed is 4.2 m/s at the addition of pitch 0° while the lowest cut in speed is at 3.8 m/s at the addition of a 30° pitch angle.
