dc.description.abstract | Microhydro is the one of small power plant technology that using the
potential water flow. This research was conducted to determine the level of
efficiency and power generated by microhydro power plant on Mojan village,
district Patrang, Jember.
This research was conducted in three phases, the one is to determine water
power analysis, turbine power analysis, and efficiency analysis. Each step
performed with opened angle variation of nozzle as many as 5 rounds (0,0038
m
2
), 15 rounds (0,0076 m
2
), and 30 rounds (0,0152 m
2
). From the data of water
power, the greatest power water produce is in the opening 30 rounds, generated by
38.293,50 watt. Whereas for analysis turbine power, is done by calculating RPM
and torque at every angle nozzle variations. The greatest turbine power is
generated by 14.159,98 watt. The research shown that more greater opening the
nozzle’s angle, more greater too the water and turbine generated. On efficiency
analysis, the greatest generated efficiency by opening 5 rounds nozzle (0,0038
m 2 ), the efficiency is 91,1%. | en_US |
