Abstract

This article aims to design a taperless blade in a micro-scale wind turbine in medium wind speed, a case study at PT Lentera Bumi Nusantara. The methodology used in this research is quantitative research methods. Based on the test results in calculating the data using Microsoft Excel software and the blade airfoil design simulation using Qblade software, the use of the S-4320 airfoil in the application of the taperless blade design has research results that show that the airfoil design of the blade produces mechanical power at moderate wind speeds. It can be concluded that this blade design shows that the taperless blade with S-4320 airfoil can be applied to medium wind speeds in micro-scale horizontal axis wind turbines.
