Abstract

The study highlights the impact of increasing population growth, geographic change, and rapid development on global energy demand. The high reliance on non-renewable resources, such as oil and coal, poses significant sustainability challenges, given depleting reserves and increasing environmental impact. Renewable energy, which is renewable and naturally maintained, plays a crucial role in addressing the global energy crisis and facing future climate challenges. Indonesia, with the potential for renewable energy resources such as solar, wind, water, biomass, geothermal, and tidal energy reaching 3,692 gigawatts (GW), is the main focus of this research. Gravity Water Vortex Energy Generation (GWVP) technology, which offers an environmentally friendly solution for generating renewable energy through water flow in cylindrical containers, was researched to evaluate how vessel geometry and turbine design affect GWVP performance. The general purpose of this study is to conduct performance tests of vortex turbines. The re- search aims to improve the performance of vortex turbines by using experimental methods. The experimental approach will involve the development of test equipment equipped with a data acquisition system. Through an experimental approach, this study shows that increasing the number of turbine blades in GWVP can significantly improve power and efficiency, especially in the face of variations in water flow velocity. These findings provide new insights into the development of GWVP technology as a more effective and sustainable renewable energy source.
