UJI POTENSI SUMBER AIR UNTUK PEMASANGAN PEMBANGKIT LISTRIK TENAGA MIKROHIDRO DI DESA PANDUMAN KECAMATAN JELBUK KABUPATEN JEMBER

Abstract

Test potential water sources in the planning of micro hydro power has the objective to find out how much electricity capacity which will be produced. Electrics is main requirement for society. Especially for Indonesian citizens who mostly work in agriculture sectors. It can happen because the machine for agriculture producs can be operated with electrics power. The electrics are very useful for them. Now, there are still many areas in Indonesia that have not got electricity supply yet. Especially in hinterland area where farmers mostly work in agriculture areas. So that, we must find a way and solution to fill of electrics requirement for this area. The purpose of this study is to study the potential water sources in area that have not got electricity supply yet, so an alternative resource or energy can be created in this area. The research’s method is measurement of how high the fall of water and water discharge in area where micro hydro energy will be build. The research produced three level about how high the fall of water are 0.32, 0.46, and 0.79 m. From that, we can get a line on about water discharge for every the fall or water’s analysis. That are 0.031, 0.059, and 0.056 m /s. And then, from every analysis about how high the fall of water and water discharge, we can get a line on about the theory of electrics capacity produced. That are 54, 149, and 243 watt.
