JAKARTA - Wind energy and heat are abundant Pandansimo Beach, Bantul, Yogyakarta utilized by the University of Gadjah Mada (UGM) in Yogyakarta, the hybrid electrical energy.

To realize this, GMU mendapuk Ministry of Research and Technology (Kemenristek) as partners. Currently, 35 units have been installed wind turbines with an average height of 18 meters.

A total of 26 wind turbines with a capacity of one kilowatt (kw), six wind turbines with a capacity of 2.5 kw, two wind turbines with a capacity of 10 kw, and a wind turbine with a capacity of 50 kw. Plus 175 units of solar cells with a capacity of 17.5 kw.

One member of the researcher, Rahmawan Budiarto said, the utilization of this technology in order to realize the utilization of new and renewable energy sources, namely by exploiting the potential of wind resources on land and sea breezes Pandansimo Coast.

"The wind speed at Pandansimo including low with an average of 3-4 meters per second. Combined with a great intensity of the sun and still be able to generate 130 kw per day," said Rahmawan like disitat from the site of UGM on Saturday (09/24/2011 ).

Installing turbines and solar cells that have been installed since late last year, he added Rahmawan, direct use by communities around the coast. In which to run the ice machine for ice production.

"While this, hybrid electrical energy utilization is fully to assist the economic development of communities of fishermen and farmers around," he said.

Lecturer of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, said that currently it is also being researched and developed a workshop production of windmill turbines in accordance with the conditions of wind power in various regional locations. "Going forward, we hope everything can be made by local communities," he said.
