UMPSA GREEN ENERGY INITIATIVE : WIND TURBINE

In 2012, a national project to test and assess the potential of wind power in Malaysia was initiated under the purview of MOSTI and SIRIM Berhad. UMPSA Pekan Campus, due to its strategic location, was selected as one of the test-sites for 4 wind turbines with the power capacity of 2 kW, 4 kW, 5.8 kW and 10 kW. In addition to that, UMPSA also has hybrid renewable energy systems with a capacity of 600W for the wind turbine and 50W for solar.

The Pekan Campus which is situated near coastal area provides the windy condition enabling the wind turbines to convert kinetic energy into electrical power efficiently.
