Nowadays, the global energy consumption is increased rapidly especially in the developing countries. This is due to the high of the population and economic growth that lead to higher demands of the energy that only can make it in a critical situation. Thus, it has to be conserved in good ways so that these non-renewable energy sources would not be depleted in the future. The idea of using the renewable energy technology is steadily increased for the past few years in order to meet the requirement of the energy demands. The renewable energy has a very impressive potential of resources that is very useful in cost reduction of natural costs that connected to the customary energy supply system to make it as the option energy source, later on, to be used. Thus, the aim of this project is to analyze the performance of the blade design of wind turbine system from air conditioner waste. This can decrease the wasted air that been discharged freely to environment without further action. The blades from previous work of the wind turbine mechanism is been applied throughout this project. Hence, three blades design which are National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) modern wind turbine blade design, elliptical blade and swept blade are chosen for performance analysis. These blades is designed by using SOLIDWORKS software as well as simulation of the wind flow on the blades also will be conducted. Yet, selection of the best blade design is cannot totally based on the simulations performance analyses, comparison between wind turbine blade design requirements are needed such as aspect ratio and blade twist. Last but not least, to compare and identify correlation the overall best performance for three types of blades with the experimental test from previous work. And the results shows that the And the results shows that the higher ratio in comparison pair wise of design concept 3 in criteria of Controllability, Material and Position of wing system is the main reason that design concept 3 is selected based on the result of AHP method.
