Abstract

By using a wind turbine, wind energy can be captured to produce electricity. This thesis is concerned about optimizing the balloon design of a buoyant airborne wind turbine and used to fly the wind turbine to reach some desired altitude to harvest more wind. Wind at higher altitude has bigger speed than wind at ground level. The faster the wind speed the more electricity would be produce by wind turbine. The thesis focuses on how the wind tunnel design that can accelerate the wind speed inside the wind tunnel, the volume of the balloon could lift the wind turbine, and the shape and efficiency of the balloon designed. The balloon is filled with lighter than air gas that makes the balloon floating in the sky. The simulations are done to make the best shape of the balloon, to know the wind speed inside the wind tunnel, and to know the distribution forces on the surface area of the balloon. After the simulation process is completed, the scaled design is made and filled with lighter than air gas. The balloon is made of plastic filled with helium, which is safe and lighter than air. The work of this thesis was begun with making the three-dimensional design, simulating the design, prototyping, and assembling. This thesis is a joint project with Jane Christina Irawan, who is made the wind blades.
