Q & A

What is the history of wind energy?

Wind energy has a long history dating back several centuries. Initially, wind power was used for grinding grains. The more innovative use of wind energy for electricity generation began in 1941 with the creation of the Schmid Putnam wind turbine.

When was the first wind power plant in Indonesia established?

The first wind power plant in Indonesia, PLTB Sidrap in South Sulawesi, was inaugurated on July 2, 2018, by President Joko Widodo.

How many wind turbines does PLTB Sidrap have, and what is its capacity?

PLTB Sidrap has 30 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 2.5 megawatts, for a total installed capacity of 75 megawatts.

What other wind power plants exist in Indonesia besides PLTB Sidrap?

Besides PLTB Sidrap, Indonesia also has PLTB Tolo, which started operations in 2019, and other provinces like Papua, Maluku, and Kalimantan have the potential for wind power development.

What is the projected energy generation capacity from wind energy in Indonesia?

Indonesia is projected to be able to generate 60,547 megawatts of electricity from wind power.

What are the main components of a wind turbine?

The main components of a wind turbine include the blades (or 'pisau'), the generator, the rotor, the controller, the gearbox, the nacelle (housing), the brake system, and the anemometer (sensor).

How does a wind turbine generate electricity?

When wind moves the blades, they rotate the rotor. The rotor's low RPM is increased through the gearbox, which powers the generator, converting mechanical energy into electricity.

What role does the gearbox play in a wind turbine?

The gearbox connects the high-speed and low-speed shafts and increases the turbine's rotational speed from 30-60 RPM to 1000-1200 RPM, optimizing it for generating electricity.

How do wind turbines maintain optimal orientation with the wind?

Wind turbines use a yaw motor and a sensor to monitor wind speed and direction. The system sends signals to adjust the turbine's position so the blades always face the wind for maximum efficiency.

What technological advancements has General Electric made in wind energy?

General Electric has made significant advancements, such as 3D-printed concrete turbine towers, smart remote control systems for turbines, and large offshore turbines like the Haliade-X, with capacities up to 14 megawatts and rotors up to 220 meters in diameter.

What are the benefits of offshore wind turbines like the Haliade-X?

Offshore turbines like the Haliade-X are designed for high-wind environments, have larger capacity, and are more efficient at generating energy even at lower wind speeds, which helps lower energy costs and improve profitability.

What is Winfarm, and how does it enhance wind turbine efficiency?

Winfarm is a digital solution by General Electric that uses data analytics and software to monitor and improve the efficiency, security, and reliability of wind power systems. It helps optimize performance throughout the turbine's operational life.
