Abstract
This research aims to investigate the potential for optimizing ocean wave energy conversion using an Oscillating Water Column (OWC) device by focusing on the influence of variations in exhaust duct diameter and generator fan angle. Electrical energy, as a major need in Indonesia, demands exploration of renewable energy sources as an alternative to fossil fuels. Experiments were carried out by varying the exhaust duct diameter (5.5 cm, 4.5 cm, 3.5 cm) and generator fan angle (20°, 25°, 30°). The research results show that there is a significant influence of these two variables on OWC performance. The results of wind speed measurements show that with an exhaust channel dimension of 5 cm, the wind speed at an angle of 45° reaches 2.24 m/s, while at angles of 35° and 40° it is 0 m/s. In the same dimensions, increasing the exhaust duct dimensions increases the wind speed, with a dimension of 15 cm providing optimal results at all fan angles. Measuring the fan RPM in the exhaust duct dimensions (5 cm, 10 cm, 15 cm) shows that in the dimensions 5 cm and 15 cm, the fan RPM is 0 at an angle of 35°. Increasing exhaust duct dimensions, especially the 10 cm and 15 cm dimensions, provides a significant increase in RPM at 40° and 45° angles. The 15 cm dimension provides the best performance, especially at 45° angles. Voltage measurements at three angles (35°, 40°, 45°) with varying exhaust channel dimensions show that at dimensions of 5 cm and 15 cm, the voltage is 0 V at an angle of 35°. Increasing the fan angle, especially in the 10 cm and 15 cm dimensions, provides increased voltage. Dimensions 10 cm, at an angle of 45°, reaches the highest voltage of 24.68 V.
