Increased demand for electrical energy and limited fossil fuel resources have driven the development of renewable energy, one of which is wind energy. Darrieus vertical axis wind turbines have the potential to be developed in Indonesia because they are capable of operating in variable wind conditions without requiring a wind direction guidance system. This study aims to analyze the actual perfo…
