ANALISIS POTENSI DAYA LISTRIK PADA PLTMH ALIRAN ANAK SUNGAI TUKAD SUNGI MENGGUNAKAN TURBIN CROSSFLOW

This study evaluates the potential electrical power and turbine rotation speed generated from the flow of the Tukad Sungi tributary to be used in a Microhydro Power Plant (PLTMH) usinga crossflow turbine. This study calculates the potential electrical power that can be generated andassesses the performance of the turbine rotation speed in producing optimal power. Quantitativedata were obtained by measuring water discharge and turbine rotation speed under various loadconditions. The results showed that from the potential water discharge of 0.44 m³/s, only 0.026m³/s was used, producing a hydraulic power of 484.12 watts and a generator output power of313.227 watts. The turbine rotation showed a decrease when connected to the generator, whichaffected the overall electrical output of the system. Although the electrical power output wasachieved, the efficiency of the system still needs to be improved to meet the planned street lightingenergy needs.
