Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the performance of vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) with three different configurations, including Savonius, Darrieus, and a Savonius-Darrieus hybrid wind turbine, using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The methodology involves 3D geometry modeling, simulation parameter setup, meshing, and post-simulation analysis using SolidWorks 2022 software. The simulation results indicate that the Savonius turbine achieves the highest power coefficient (Cp) and torque coefficient (Ct) among the three designs, with a maximum Cp value of 0.5 at a Tip-Speed Ratio (TSR) of 0.4. Conversely, the hybrid turbine demonstrates lower efficiency, although it theoretically offers potential for improving performance at low wind speeds. Pressure and flow velocity distributions reveal that the Savonius turbine maintains the most stable pressure pattern compared to the other configurations. These findings highlight the potential of the Savonius turbine as a small-scale renewable energy solution, particularly in urban areas with low wind speeds. Further research is recommended to optimize hybrid turbine designs using machine learning approaches and empirical validation through field experiments to support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 7, affordable and clean energy.

Abstract

The rapid evolution of digital technologies has opened new opportunities for transforming vocational education, particularly in CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining. Despite its vital role in preparing skilled workers, CNC instruction in Indonesian vocational schools remains constrained by teacher-cantered methods, static materials, and limited access to costly machines, resulting in low engagement and achievement. This study aimed to design, implement, and evaluate Android-based Augmented Reality (AR) learning media for CNC TU-2A machines to enhance students’ cognitive performance, psychomotor skills, and classroom participation. Using a Classroom Action Research (CAR) model across two cycles, the research involved 31 eleventh-grade Mechanical Engineering students at SMK Negeri 5 Padang. Data were collected through cognitive tests, student activity observations, and surveys. Results showed significant improvements: average cognitive scores rose from 75.91 to 82.47, classical mastery increased from 54.83% to 100%, and psychomotor scores improved by 3.24 points. Student learning activities also climbed from 72.2% to 80.4%, with discussion and collaboration showing the highest gain (17%). While barriers such as device limitations and technical issues arose, they were addressed through device sharing, offline content, and teacher mentoring. Findings confirm AR as an effective, scalable tool for modernizing CNC instruction, fostering engagement, and preparing vocational students for Industry 4.0 learning demands.
