MODEL FISIK PEMBANGKIT LISTRIK TENAGA MINI-MIKROHIDRO (PLTM)

Abstract

The use of mini-microhydro electricity power generator is still conducted rarely. It needs to know its effectivity and efficiency. It needs special treatment by using new technology, so it could be especially in the rural areas those had water resources for that treatment. In this research physical model of mini-microhydro electricity power generator was made. The procedure of this research consist of three steps : the installation and adjustment of equipment (tank installation and pipe installation, dynamo and turbin restraint, turbin and dynamo intallation), the model test (water supply measurement, tutrbin angular velocity measurement), and running model (dynamo angular velocity measurement, and voltage measurement). The result of the research that was conducted, the maximum water suplly 5,513 Us, average of dynamo angular velocity 548,6 rpm. The maximum voltage that is produced model 80 volt. On the model condition no energy is produced, because the voltage and angular velocity that was planned are not reached yet.
