An overview of wind energy to optimize initial potential in Java

Abstract

The amount of energy derived from fossil fuels has been dwindling rapidly while its consumption has gradually increased. Indonesia, especially Java and East Nusa Tenggara islands, has excellent potential for developing renewable energy and an environmentally friendly economy. One of the more comprehensive energy resources is wind, which can provide renewable resources because it is renewable, widespread, and abundant. Wind energy can be used as an alternative energy material instead of fossil fuels in power generation systems. This article explores the potential of wind energy as a renewable energy source in Java through a literature study. Data was collected by collecting references from nationally and internationally reputable indexed books and journals related to the topic and government website platforms, reports and other relevant sources. The results showed that wind energy in several areas of Java Island has the potential to become renewable energy for power generation. The benefits of renewable energy can outweigh the drawbacks.
