Utilization of Albizia Wood (Albizia falcata) and Ramie Fibers as Wind Turbine Propeller Modification of NACA 4415 Standard Airfoil

Abstract:

Ramie fibers and albizia wood, which are abundantly available in Indonesia, were used in fabricating hybrid sandwich composite for wind turbine propeller. A prototype was fabricated by modification of NACA 4415 standard airfoil, intended for low speed wind and environmental friendly operations. Hand lay-up method was applied for fabrication of this hybrid composite with one and two layers of ramie fiber. Mean volume fiber fraction (vf) of one-layer and two-layer composite are 47,12% and 44,82%, respectively. The highest measured bending stress is 30.88 MPa for two-layer composite with modulus of elasticity 2.02 GPa and bending strain 1,795%. Microstructure of this hybrid composite is unchanged significantly after 5.5 months operation. With ultimate simplicity and low manufacturing cost, hand lay-up method is suitable for small scale production.
