Wind Power in a train

Summaries
In this era, energy crisis is the biggest problem every country in the world.
It caused by the rate of industrial and population growth which tend to increase
every year. It will continue to rise, based on the precentage of population growth
rate in the world is around 1,2 percent every year. Because of the large number of
population, resulting in an increase of energy crisis that has occured since
industrial revolution in 1750 until 1850. Because of energy crisis, there are so
many solutiun to overcome the problem. The solutions that have ever done is
building a power station. But, the power stations are less eficient when taking
source of energy and there are power station having bad effect to the environment.
Wind Power is one of power station that enviromentally friendly and
inexhaustible. Based on the potential of wind especially in train, there is an idea
for the power station that take adventage of wind in a train. The speed of train in
Indonesia is around 60 until 100 kilometre per hour or around 16,67 until 27,7
metre per second. The speed of wind is good solution to evercome energy crisis.
The purpose of wind power in a Train is for providing energy supply to overcome
the energy crisis in the world. The plant uses two different types of turbines,
which take advantage of high winds and low winds. This is because wind speeds
fluctuate around the train. The turbine material is equipped by the CNT to be
more lightweight and sturdy. Wind power in train is the right answer to solve
problem of energy crisis because of environmentally friendly and efficient.

Introduction
Energy is a resource used by humans to perform an activity with a
purpose. The most important energy ,called primary energy, is energy that is still a
natural resource and still original. Then humans are demanded to be able to
process primary energy with existing technology so that the energy can be used.
The center energy problem in the world currently is imbalance between
demand and supply and also the access to energy resources. Various factors that
create the imbalance include rapid population growth and the high level of
industrialization in the world. This increases the world's energy consumption
dramatically and resulted reserve energy run out, especially fossil energy. It is
estimated that in 2030 the world energy consumption is still dependent on
petroleum energy that is not renewable.
Today, 1.3 billion people in the world do not have access to energy. This
resulted in the suffering like poor health, social development and economic
conditions are not good, while they are still busy for paying energy that is
dangerous and cause pollution by their income.The minim of availability of
energy that is efficient, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly in the world
can lead to destruction. To solve all energy problems in the world should be a
renewal through the energy management system.
Energy management is the application of science in the field of energy
management to improve the effectiveness of energy consumption by human and
industrial companies . The use which is effective and efficient, as a step for
energy conservation. We are also required to be able to understand how to use the
energy to be as optimal as possible to achieve the common goal of greening in the
world. In addition to the increased use of energy that can be renewed very
important to overcome the global crisis in the field of the power. The tendency
using the kind of energy in the future will shift towards technology -based energy
than resource-based energy ( fossil fuels ), it is perceived as a result of depletion
of fossil energy reserves are exploited after so long . Even if fossil energy
resources are still available , it would be required a high level of technology to
obtain from nature .

Proses
Wind power in a train uses 2 kind of turbines. One turbine is WePower
that can use wind as power at low speed (around 4 metre per second) and one
turbine is multiblade turbine type that has function as turbine for wind with
medium speed until high speed. Both of turbines will alternate, according to the
wind speed data from cup counter sensor (wind speed sensor). Wind direction is
designed with containers which has conical streamlined form, so the container can
make the wind go to the wind turbine accurately.The purrpose of this inovation is
the wind power never stop, eventhough the speed of wind is fluktuatif (sometimes
high speed and low speed).
In small turbin, there is a system named fly wheel. In the system there are
3 small turbin using low wind speeds and then connected by gear until become
one system for driving a generator. The system has impact that the power is
bigger than without the system, so the wind at low speeds can still be utilized
optimally. The turbin using fiberglass for material, combined by Carbon Nano
Tube so so the turbine becomes lighter weight and very sturdy. When getting high
winds the turbine does not get physical trouble.

Conclusion
For responding energy crisis, wind power in a train is good choice.
Because of this power station has good eficiency energy and environmentally
friendly, the power station is suitable for helping in supply energy. Wind power in
a train can be placed under the train or beside the train. This is must be required
collaborate with electronic company in making the device and train company in
using the wind power. So, the wind power in a train can be a solution for energy
crisis.
