INTRODUCTION
Indonesia is known as a country with abundant natural resources, energy
sources are one of them. Energy itself is divided into 2, namely renewable energy and
non-renewable energy. Examples of renewable energy sources include wind, solar,
biogas, and so on. Meanwhile, examples of non-renewable energy are oil, gas, and
coal, and others like that (Sahid, Totok, Baktiyar, & Anis, 2021).
The development and improvement of potential energy diversity is one of the
government's current and future efforts. This shows that developments in the field of
renewable energy are important things to improve. Renewable energy, such as wind,
water, and the sun, can be utilized to save fossil energy, which is increasingly limited in
number. (Sulistyono, Faizal, & Salim, 2020).
In Indonesia, the wind is a renewable energy source that allows it to be applied
through technology. This is because the wind is easily found in every corner of the
earth produced by moving air. However, in its application, the existing wind energy
cannot be fully utilized, because the wind speed in each region is different
(Andiyantama, Zahira, & Irawan, 2021). Therefore, in applying technology such as wind
turbines as wind power plants, the first thing that is important to do is to determine the
right area for wind turbine placement.
Indonesia has wind resource potential which is estimated to reach up to 60 GW,
but only 3.1 MW is installed or applied. This situation shows that there is great potential
for wind resources that can be developed. The wind potential will then be transformed
into new energy using wind turbine technology, the most common of which is electrical
energy. Therefore, currently, a lot of research on turbine design is being carried out to
extract energy optimally from (Rijano & Muzaki, 2018).
Electrical energy is the most important component that has become a human
need in the development of each region. The development of the times is always
accompanied by increasingly rapid technological advances, so that this situation also
encourages the consumption of electrical energy to increase. Therefore, the use of
renewable energy sources is used as an alternative in fulfilling the improvement of
people's living standards (Ar, Jumarang, & Apriansyah, 2018).
Fulfillment of electricity needs, usually mostly in coastal areas, because the wind
is blowing relatively strong, such as on the coast of Puger. Puger Beach is a coastal
area located in Puger District, Jember Regency. The area is included in the area that
experiences a shortage of electricity sources, due to the distance from the city center
which is quite far, which is about ± 40 km. Based on this, the Puger coastal area is an
area at risk of lack of street lighting. Therefore, for the solution from the case study, we
want to research the potential of wind energy on the Puger beach to determine the
