The method used is to testing wind turbine ventilator as power plants in the fishing boat. Wind turbine ventilator, wind energy capture from multiple directions. This wind turbine receives wind energy then converts the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical energy for rotating electrical generator. This electrical energy is stored in batteries to stabilize the flow of electricity from the battery and then used as a source of energy for lighting fishing boat. Key Words: Wind Turbine Ventilator, Power, Electricity ---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.INTRODUCTION Almost all countries in the world have the problem of energy, including Indonesia also experienced a severe energy crisis problem, both in price and availability. The economic crisis that has occurred since the end of the new order, greatly affect the power generation capacity addition [1]. . The oceans that are in the equatorial region has a wealth of fish and abundant wind energy potential but have not been optimal utilization and management, fishermen we are still relatively poor and marginalized. Fishermen are very burdened by the cost of fuel the engine of the boat and lights at night to catch fish. Fishermen at the time of sailing throughout the night even weeks or months in desperate need of electrical energy for lighting (lighting) sailboat fishing, cooking, pumping water out of the boat, Freeser to keep fish, food and medicines remained good. Also electricity is used for information and communication means such as radio, television and mobile phones. At the present time only a sailboat equipped with lights strongkin as a torch so that the fish in the sea at night can approach the boat, then the fish fished and caught by fishermen. Another problem experienced by the fishermen when the high waves and heavy rains accompanied by strong winds, the boats and the water intruding lighting on and off even broken so that the fishermen keolahan and prustrasi when fishing. Then to a fishing boat that just use the screen as a driver also having problems because the boat can only drove in the direction of wind and very difficult to be directed / deflected towards the other, so it is necessary propulsion boat without fuel such as ventilator wind turbine power generation [2]. . The utilization of wind energy as an alternative source of energy very well as a producer of mechanical or electrical energy. Wind energy is energy that is environmentally friendly because it does not produce carbon dioxide emissions. Wind energy as a clean energy source that has an enormous potential, but in its use is still very small [3]. Fishermen are very burdened by the cost of fuel the engine of the boat and lights at night to catch fish. Fishermen at the time of sailing throughout the night even weeks or months in desperate need of electrical energy for lighting (lighting) sailboat fishing, cooking, pumping water out of the boat, Freeser to keep fish, food and medicines remained good . At the present time only a fishing boat equipped with lights strongkin as a torch so that the fish in the sea at night can approach the boat, then the fish fished and caught by fishermen . On a fishing boat having an enormous potential for wind power because wind energy at the boat fishing is a combination of natural wind currents and wind currents due to the rate of movement of the boat, it can be used as an energy source driving the boat and power plants in a fishing boat. In addition, wind energy conversion system is able to replace the function of stronkin lights or driving in a fishing boat enginesThe boat is a means of sea transport that utilize wind power through a screen installed at the boat so that the boat sped ahead. The fishing boat is also used fishermen to catch fish at night. Turbine ventilator so far only used in the ventilation system to circulate air in the room, which is widely mainly in industry, warehousing, workshops, and even household as air conditioning. Development of turbine ventilator use for power generation is the addition of modifier component of the mechanical energy into electrical energy [4]. The wind turbines as power generation is having several vertical blades have better aerodynamic performance than with sumbuh horizontal wind turbine that has a better performance wind turbine with a simple construction that is suitable for use in a fishing boat. Wind turbine concept is quite simple and practically not affected by wind direction.
