Abstract

This research examines the performance of SWT-3.6-130 wind turbine units at the Tolo Jeneponto wind power plant (PLTB) using wind speed and active power data from February 2023. Turbine 06 produces 3.57 MW with a wind speed of 13.07 m/s, turbine 09 produces 3.57 MW with a wind speed of 12.27 m/s, turbine 012 produces 3.59 MW with a wind speed of 13.48 m/s, turbine 013 produces 3.58 MW with a wind speed of 12.11 m/s, and turbine 016 produces 3.59 MW with a wind speed of 11.95 m/s. These results show that as wind speed increases, the turbine's power output increases until it reaches an optimal point of around 12-15 m/s, at which point the power output peaks at around 3600 kW. After reaching the optimal point, the power produced remains constant, even as the wind speed increases. Environmental factors, turbine damage, the Curtailments, and extreme weather conditions all cause anomalies in power graphs. The wind speed of 7-8 m/s resulted in the highest power coefficient, which was nearly 50%. © 2026 Author(s).
