Abstract

This study aims to describe the trends, contributions, and perspectives of students as opportunities for the application of vertical axis wind turbines. This study uses a mixed method design with an explanatory sequential scheme. Data collection techniques were carried out on the Scopus database and through a student survey using a questionnaire. The results show that research with the keywords “vertical axis wind turbine” and “renewable energy” is still trending. The increase in documents each year shows that this research continues to grow. Bibliometric analysis shows that the affiliation that contributes most to research on the keywords “vertical axis wind turbine” and “renewable energy” is the University of Malaya. Other data show that the countries that are productive in researching vertical axis wind turbines and renewable energy are India, Malaysia, and China. The results of the student responses show that they strongly agree with the application of vertical axis wind turbines in Indonesia. This is reinforced by the results of the literature and student responses through interviews that vertical axis wind turbines are suitable for application in urban areas. This study hopes that Indonesia can develop new innovations in the use of renewable energy.
