A Technical Review of Building Integrated Wind Turbine System and a Sample Simulation Model in Central Java, Indonesia

Indonesia is an archipelago country and has significant wind energy potential. This paper investigated the potential of wind energy on the building based on location in Central Java Province, Indonesia. The results show that overall, Yogyakarta and Semarang, offers a much higher wind potential than other location. Four different sample models for buildings and houses are explained with CFD models. This study reports the investigation results of wind energy potential in building especially in Yogyakarta and Semarang. Hence, Yogyakarta has potential for high rise building that integrated with wind turbine and Semarang has potential for roof mounted-micro wind turbine.
