The Comparison Of Wind Turbine In Netherland And Sidrap Regency

The Comparison Of Wind Turbine
In Netherland And Sidrap Regency


INTRODUCTION

1.1.  Background


The use of wind turbines as power plants was first made by Poul La Cour in Denmark in the early 20th century, where there were experimental machines for wind turbines in the form of a traditional windmill. More serious development was carried out during the oil crisis in the 1970s where many governments around the world began to spend funds to conduct research and development of new energy sources or alternative energy because at that time coal as a fuel for electricity generation had decreased in number . The main development in the early 80s was carried out in California with the construction of the wind turbin Power Plant using hundreds of small turbines. With this system, within 10 years, 15,000 wind turbines have been built with a total generating capacity of 1,500 MW in the area. In Denmark, the government continues to support and oversee the development of this wind turbine technology. As a result, their technology is maintained and does not disappear. So that when wind energy re-strengthened in the early 90's, many companies engaged in this field were able to respond quickly and as a result they were able to dominate the market today.
The Netherlands is known as the windmill country. Where using this technology can help many people in the country . Historically, windmills in the Netherlands were originally used to pump water out of the lowlands and back into the river through dikes, so that the land could be used for farming activities. But based on its development, use and supported by geographical location, the use of windmills in this country is not only limited to the need for utilization of land again, but it is possible to build a Wind Turbin Power Plant (PLTB) which will support the electricity usage needs in the country. This can be proven by making 150 wind turbines off the coast of the Netherlands to resemble electricity for 1.5 million inhabitants.
Reflecting on the Netherlands as one of the countries that uses wind as a source of electricity used in the country, and in order to support the government's program of providing 35,000 MW of electricity, after many deliberations and studies carried out continuously by the government, in August 2015 , UPC Renewables, an investor from the United States together with a local company, PT Binetik Energi Terbarukan, built a wind turbin Power Plant. and capacity of that wind farm is 70 Megawatts in Sidrap city, which was completed in 2018.
Using windmills as a source of electricity generation, between the Netherlands and Sidrap city, of course there are similarities and differences in their development, the comparison of these will be discussed in the following paper.

DISCUSSION

2.1.        Concept of Wind Turbine Power Plant


Wind turbines are windmills used to generate electricity. This wind turbine was originally made to accommodate the needs of farmers in carrying out rice milling, irrigation purposes, etc. Previous wind turbines have been built in Denmark, the Netherlands and other European countries and are better known as Windmill. The initial concept of wind power plants is that wind movements are engineered in such a way as to produce kinetic energy, namely the amount of kinetic energy in a moving object increasing along with the mass of the object being multiplied, the kinetic energy also multiplying him. If the speed is doubled, the kinetic energy will increase fourfold. Calculation of the power produced by a wind tube with the diameter of the fan is:
 R2v3
Where :
P = Wind density at a certain time
V = wind speed at a certain time
With provisions, generally the effective power that can be harvested by a wind tube is only 20% -30%. So the formula above can be multiplied by 0.2-0.5 to get quite exact results. The basic principle of the work of a wind turbine is to change the mechanical energy from the wind to the rotating energy on the windmill, then the spinning wheel is used to rotate the generator which will eventually generate electricity. Wind energy systems including the main components are divided into:
a.    Nacelle
The nacelle is the housing that protects the main frame and the components atatched to it. This enclosure is particulary important for wind electric system, but does npt exist in water pumping machines. Sits atop the tower and contains the gear box, low- and high-speed shafts, generator, controller, and brake. Some nacelles are large enough for a helicopter to land on.
b.    Rotor
Rotor blade design has beenfited from airplanes wind technology. It uses the bernoulli aerodynamic lift force that an airfoil feels in a moving stream or air. The shape of the rotor blade and its angle of attack relative to the wind direction affects its performance.
The roto assemly can be placed it two locations :
-          Upwind of necelle and tower receiving the wind stream unaffected by the tower’s presence
-          Downwind of the tower witch allows yawing or the self-alignment of the rotor in facing the wind.
High speed wind mechine rotors usually have blades with an airfoil cross section. The following materials have been considered for rotor design:
-          Metals, aluminium and stell alloys have been used
-          Wood, this includes laminated wood composites
-          Synthetic composites, these consist of a polyester or epoxy matrix tha is reinforced with glass fibers
-          New materials, Hybrid composite would offer a combination of the constitutive materials propertis.
c.    Hub assembly and main shaft
The blades are attached by a hub assembly to main shaft. The main shaft rotates in bearings supported in the main frame. If the blades are desugned for pitch control, the hub can be fairly intricate. The main frame of the wind machine serves as the point of attachment for various components, such as the main shaft, transmission, generator, and nacelle. It usualy contains a yaw bearing assembly.
d.    Transmission mechanism
A transmission assembly consisting of gear box or chain draie is rewuired to properly mach the rotational speed to the desired speed of the electric generator, or air com[ressor because the rotatoina; speed ot the rotor does not match that of the pump or electric generator to which it is to be connected
e.    Yaw mechanism
Horizontal axis machines must be oriented to face the wind by process called yawing. Upwind machines with blades upwind of the towe invorporate instead a tail vane, smal yaw motors of faintails, or a servo mechanism to ensure that the machine always face upwind
f.     Electric generator
The electric generator i a wind machine is attached to the main support frame and copled to the high speed end of the transmission shaft. Produces 60-cycle AC electricity; it is usually an off-the-shelf induction generator.
g.    Stuctural tower needed to get the wind machine up into the air, away from the slower and more turbulent winds near the ground. A wind machine should be at least 10 m highter than any obstuctions in the surrondings such as trees.large wind machines towers aare usually made of steel and the great majority is of the tubular or conical type. Tower must be designed to resist the full thrust produced by an operating windmill or stationary wind machine in a storm. Special concent must be givento the possibility of destuctive vebrations caouse by a natural frequency mismatch betweeen the wind machine and tower. Because wind speed increases with height, taller towers enable turbines to capture more energy and generate more electricity.
h.    Anemometer:
Measures the wind speed and transmits wind speed data to the controller.
i.      Blades:
Lifts and rotates when wind is blown over them, causing the rotor to spin. Most turbines have either two or three blades.
j.      Brake:
Stops the rotor mechanically, electrically, or hydraulically, in emergencies.
k.    Controller:
Starts up the machine at wind speeds of about 8 to 16 miles per hour (mph) and shuts off the machine at about 55 mph. Turbines do not operate at wind speeds above about 55 mph because they may be damaged by the high winds.
l.       Gear box:
Connects the low-speed shaft to the high-speed shaft and increases the rotational speeds from about 30-60 rotations per minute (rpm), to about 1,000-1,800 rpm; this is the rotational speed required by most generators to produce electricity. The gear box is a costly (and heavy) part of the wind turbine and engineers are exploring "direct-drive" generators that operate at lower rotational speeds and don't need gear boxes.
m.   Pitch:
Turns (or pitches) blades out of the wind to control the rotor speed, and to keep the rotor from turning in winds that are too high or too low to produce electricity.
n.    Wind direction:
Determines the design of the turbine. Upwind turbines—like the one shown here—face into the wind while downwind turbines face away.
o.    Wind vane:
Measures wind direction and communicates with the yaw drive to orient the turbine properly with respect to the wind.
p.    Yaw drive:
Orients upwind turbines to keep them facing the wind when the direction changes. Downwind turbines don't require a yaw drive because the wind manually blows the rotor away from it.
q.    Yaw motor:
Powers the yaw drive.

In general, the wind turbine is divided into 2 types: horizontal wind turbine and vertical wind turbine, where every wind turbine has its own function and ability to convert kinetic wind energy into rotating turbine energy for each wind speed condition. Multi-blade and savonius windmills are suitable for low speed PLTB applications, while propeller type windmills are the most commonly used windmills because they can work with a wide range of wind speeds. The electricity system from the PLTB can be divided into 2 types: fixed speed and variable speed. The advantages of the k system (fixed-speed) are cheap, the system is simple and sturdy (robast). This system operates at a constant turbine rotational speed and produces maximum power at one wind speed value. This system usually uses an unsynchronous generator, and is suitable to be applied to areas that have high wind speed potential.
The disadvantage of this system is that the generator requires reactive power to be able to produce electricity so that the capacitor bank must be installed or connected to the grid. This system is susceptible to pulsating power to the grid and is susceptible to sudden mechanical changes. In a system of wind turbines that use a variable speed system, the system is designed to be able to extract maximum power at various speeds. The variable speed system can eliminate pulsating torque that generally occurs in fixed speed systems. Things to consider in choosing a region as a wind farm are as follows:
·      Is an area of wind, is an area free of animal and human interference
·      It is an open coastal area, meaning that in front of the coastline (towards the sea) it is not blocked by plants with high stands / mangrove forests. Such areas are very potensal to get sea breeze during the day and land winds at night
·      Is a sloping area. Such areas are winds that blow close to the sea surface can directly rotate wind turbine
·      Is an area free from the maximum tidal wave. Wind turbine buildings must avoid sea water abrasion
·      Tsunami free area
·      Is a coastal area that is safe from tectonic earthquakes / volcanic earthquakes
·      Not in the area of the river estuary
·      Not a tourist and regional area for the military.

2.2.        Electricity System in Netherland


The electricity system in the Netherlands is managed by many companies which are divided by area and also the type of components, such as transmission generation, high or medium voltage, and distribution and retail. Every company can be an electricity producer where management is limited by the amount of kilovolts. The electricity system in the Netherlands is divided into several voltages namely 380 kv, 220 kv, 110 kv, 50 kv, 20 kv, 3 kv, 400/230 Volt. In addition to AC transmission, in the Netherlands there is a DC transmission that is more profitable if the electricity transmission exceeds 180 km for example NedBrit (Nederland-Britain) which reaches 260 km and Cobra (Copenhagen-Brussels-Amsterdam) which plans to drain 700 MW of electricity as far as 325 km at the beginning of 2019. DC is more profitable for use above 200 km because of lower electricity transmission lost when compared to AC transmission.
The development of electricity using renewable energy in the Netherlands is fully supported by the government so that the quality of each company in terms of technical, service, and competitiveness with other companies can be maintained. In addition, the company is closely monitored by the government but is still allowed to operate commercially. As one of the European Union member countries, the Dutch energy policy is also influenced by the prevailing joint policies among European Union countries with EU slogans 20-20-20, namely 20% reduction in greenhouse emissions, 20% increase in energy efficiency, and 20% of energy sources come from renewable energy in 2020. The Netherlands currently has a national target of 5-6% use of renewable energy where the target to be fulfilled is 14% in 2020 (initially 16%) with an optimistic scenario of 12% . Some of the things that cause this decline include financial (budget not available for compensation for coal power plant closure, renewable energy is still quite expensive to build), politics (tough negotiations not supported by all political parties), policies, and implementation erroneous (wrong calculation of economics in the construction of the power plant).
Since 2015 there has been a trend towards deployment and planning for large wind farms, both onshore and offshore, with a view to the approximate wind power capacity tripling from 2015 levels by 2023.
Gemini offshore wind farm is a generator with a capacity of 600 MW is newer and larger wind farms that are making use of some of the largest wind turbines available, in particular the case of Noordoostpolder the Enercon E-126 7500 kW wind turbine, the wind farm is located about 85 kilometers off the north coast of the Netherlands, it will meet the energy needs of around 1.5 million residents. The 2.8 billion euro project is a collaboration between a Canadian independent renewable energy company named Northland Power, a Siemens Wind Power Wind Turbine producer, Dutch maritime contractor Van Oord and a HVC waste processing company. This offshore farm wind will include an artificial island with airport, port and other facilities. Electrical energy (alternating current) generated from the windmill will be sent to an artificial island and converted into direct current. To avoid electricity losses when transmitted, the Netherlands is also well prepared for a significant rise in intermittent power from wind energy by good links to its neighbors via high voltage cables or exported as required. These include the 580 km NorNed submarine cable (700 MW) link to Norway, the 1,000 MW BritNed cable link to the United Kingdom and planned 2019 COBRA cable link to Denmark (700 MW).
In the future, The Dutch government plans to build three more offshore wind farms, and new wind farms have been agreed upon in the Energy Agreement. The government wants the total offshore current electricity consumption by 2030. The two new wind farms will be built by the North-Holland coast, the third north of the Wadden Islands. The government plans to open tenders for these wind farms in 2021. The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate estimates that realizing these wind farms will cost between 15 and 20 billion euros in investments, and create 10 thousand jobs. As per the Energy Agreement, the government already plans to have five new wind farms built before 2023. These projects will be built off the Zeeland and Holland coasts in the coming years and will increase the capacity of offshore wind farms by 4,450 gigawatts in the next five years.

2.3.        Indonesia Wind Turbine Power Plant


In general, Indonesia is categorized as a country without wind, given that the average minimum wind speed that can be economically developed as an energy service provider is 4 m / s. however, there are several regions where wind energy sources can be developed. These areas include East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), South and Southeast Sulawesi, North and South Coast Java and Karimun Jawa. The scale of utilization of wind power is generally grouped on a small, medium and large scale.
Indonesia is an archipelago with a vast sea area that is much larger than the land area. Therefore the existence of land winds and sea winds that blow in the coastal area are always changing throughout the day and throughout the year. Indonesia is the largest beach country in the world, with an area of ​​approximately 2/3 of the entire territory of Indonesia. That means there are at least as long as that potential area to be used as a potential area with wind energy. However, it is still necessary to select a safe coastal area to make a wind turbine power plant.
Indonesia's strategic position supports the construction of wind turbine power plants, although overall wind energy potential in Indonesia is on average not large, but based on surveys and measurements of wind data carried out since 1979 there are many prospective areas, because the annual average speed is 0.3 - 4.5 m / sec, or energy between 200-1000 kwh /m2.
The development of wind power technology in Indonesia was initiated by Ridho Hantaro, ST.MT, a pilot of a simple project with the theme "renewable energy" to win the "Brits Award for Poverty Alleviation 2006". This project is the manufacture of a wind turbine power plant on the island of Sapeken, Sumenep Regency, East Java. The 4 meter diameter rotor wind turbine with 6 aluminum leaves is capable of producing up to 1 KW of power with 8 meter high poles.
Meanwhile, based on the results of the mapping of LAPAN (Lembaga Penerbangan dan Antariksa National) in 120 locations in Indonesia, it was found that some regions had wind speeds above 5 m / s. These areas are East Nusa Tenggara, West Nusa Tenggara, South Sulawesi and the South Coast of Java. Wind at this speed is classified as medium scale with a potential capacity of 10 to 100 kW.

2.4.        PLTB Sidrap


The process of selecting location of Sidrap city  as the location of the largest PLTB construction in Southeast Asia began in 2012. Observations have been made with wind speed on the hills of Pabbarasseng, from data obtained that the wind speed in the area averages 7 m / sec and after construction, speed of the wind is still same or has not changed since 7 years ago. Wind turbin power plant is assumed to be able to deliver electricity to 67,000 customers in South Sulawesi with an average electric power of 1,300 VA when every tower in the wind turbin has a height of 80 meters and a 57 meter long propeller.
The Sidrap Wind Turbine power plant is the largest wind power plant in Indonesia that uses approximately 100 hectares of land. The electricity condition of the Sulbagsel system is currently surplus, with a capable power of 1,300 MW and peak loads reaching 1,050 MW. Thus PLN still has a 250 MW power reserve that can supply to customers.
Sidrap wind turbine power plan has the role of supporting 6 % of the peak load requirements of Southern Sulawesi (Sulbagsel) which includes South Sulawesi, West Sulawesi and Palu. Where based on research, the wind speed at the point in Sidrap city is able to rotate the turbine with that capacity. Independent Power Producer ( IPP ) developing the wind turbine power plant in sidrap city is International UPC Renewables Indonesia and PT Binatek Renewable Energy. The PPA between PLN and International UPC Renewables Indonesia was signed in August 2015.
The fact of Sidrap's wind turbine power plant :
o    The location of the Sidrap wind turbine power plant in Mattirotasi Village, Watang Pulu District, Sidrap Regency, South Sulawesi (Sulsel)
o    Sidrap wind turbine power plant is the biggest wind turbine power plant in Southeast Asia that is included in the 35,000 MW program
o    wind turbine power plant was established in a 100-hectare area with 30 Wind Turbine Generators (WTG)
o    Has a tower with a height of 80 meters with a length of propeller 57 meters and each of them works a 2.5MW capacity turbine
o    Sidrap wind turbine power plant is projected to be able to power 70,000 customers in South Sulawesi with an average electric power of 900 Volt Ampere
o    The location of Sidrap wind turbine power plant (PLTB) has the potential to become a digital destination



CONCLUSION

        

3.1          Conclusion

Wind as a raw material for wind turbine power plants is very useful, in addition to free raw materials and the use of wind as a wind turbine power plant, it will certainly be environmentally friendly. This is a consideration for the Netherlands and Indonesia to build a wind turbine power plant. It's just that when realized there are differences in the two countries. Realization of the power plant construction in sidrap district in South Sulawesi is one step to increase electricity supply and in order to support the 35000 MW program.
The following are comparison of wind turbines realized in the Netherlands and Sidrap District.
NETHERLAND
SIDRAP REGENCY
The making of the Wind Farm is located offshore, which means the wind used is sea breeze
Located of Wind Farm is in the hills which is an ideal location because it is a meeting of highland winds and sea breezes
Focusing as a wind turbine power plant by making artificial islands as a means of transmission networks
Not only become the wind turbine power plant, the location of the solar turbine power plant (PLTB) has the potential to become a digital destination
Gemini (Name of Wind Turbine Power plant project) contributes 13 percent of the total renewable energy supply and around 25 percent of wind power plants in Netherland
Sidrap wind turbine power plant has a role of 6% of the peak requirements of Southern Sulawesi which includes South Sulawesi, West Sulawesi and Palu

3.2          Suggestion

The Netherlands not only focuses on the construction of the Wind Turbine Power Plant to supply electricity in its own country, but through this development, the strategy to utilize electric cables in the construction of offshore wind turbines can also be used for export and import activities to neighboring countries. In addition to reducing losses, it can also strengthen bilateral relations between countries. Using this system, the future Wind Turbine Power Plant which was built in Sidrap regency is also expected to be able to implement this system, where the electricity supply is not only to bear the peak burden of the Sulawesi region but also can supply at least the surrounding area.
