Study Plan

I am applying for a Doctors program in engineering at KAIST, Seoul National University, and Korea
University. I am very interested in the field of renewable energy, especially wind energy. I want to optimize wind turbine
efficiency by redesigning the wind turbines using numerical approaches or modeling and experiment. other than that, I
also want to learn about other forms of renewable energy are being developed in korea. I believe that this Doctors program
can prepare me to assume a speciality in the field of renewable energy.

In the Doctors program, I plan to conduct a research concerning about numerical simulation and experimental
investigation of counter rotating wind turbines with the addition of diffuser. This idea comes along with my awareness of
the low utilization of wind energy in Indonesia. So many are factors influencing the performance of wind turbines, such
as, rotor design, generator design, and structure design. I do research that will focus on the design of the rotor to improve
performance or efficiency of wind turbines. One method is to replace the single rotor system into a dual rotor system or
counter rotating wind turbines, then the system is added diffuser to improve performance.

My master study on Mechanical Engineering has prepared me with strong grounding in numerical simulation of
counter rotating wind turbines which can contribute in developing swiftly to reach my future goals in the Doctors program.
I have learned about power plant technology, system modeling, and renewable energy, of which I got the highest marks.
Furthermore, I have also written scientific papers since I was an graduate student. My paper was presented at the 2nd
International Conference of Science and Technology 2106. Then, I completed my master study by receiving the very
satisfied predicate on Mechanical Engineering. For this reason, I have totally provided my self to perform well in my
future study.

Several papers and research journals on counter rotating wind turbines showed a marked increase in performance by
increasing the efficiency of wind turbines. Increased efficiency ranges from 15% when compared to conventional wind turbine
or a single rotor. Second rotor on counter rotating wind turbines extract energy from the rest of the first rotor so that the overall
efficiency of the rotor increases. The use of the diffuser in conventional wind turbines, or known as DAWT (Diffuser Augmented
Wind Turbines) can also improve the efficiency of approximately 10%. The placement diffuser on wind turbine rotor resulting
in airflow rates to the wind turbine rotor grow large so as to make increased performance.

The research that I plan to conduct will be carried out by using Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) and
Experimental Fluid Dynamic (EFD). I will use ANSYS Fluent as CFD software to analyze the flow field around the rotor
and then I will validate the simulation results with experimental results. I will make a wind turbine rotor design then I will
analyze my design using CFD and EFD. The results of the analysis of CFD and EFD shall I compare to see the performance
of wind turbines. The purpose of this study was to produce a wind turbine with high efficiency.

I content that this research will be valuable in the future considering that the issue of renewable energy in
Indonesia. The results of this study can be used to maximize the utilization of wind energy in Indonesia. In addition, the
results of this study can also be used as a reference by other researchers interested in the field of renewable energy
especially wind energy. I hope that in the future Indonesia can utilize all available wind energy potential thus Indonesia
can reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
Future Plan
o Future plan in Korea or another country after study in Korea
after Study

My future goal is to be a speciallist in the field of renewable energy, especially wind energy. I would like to be
a researcher in higher education in Indonesia and taking part to solve the issues in renewable energy fields in Indonesia. I
also have a dream to establish a renewable energy research center that specializes in studying the optimization of wind
turbines and other renewable energy conversion machines. I want to teach young people how the importance of energy
conservation and renewable energy utilization. I would like to take part in the development process in Indonesia through
the field I was good. I want to provide my skills and ideas for the advancement of Indonesia.
