Perancangan Pemanfaatan Aliran Air sebagai Pembangkit Listrik Menggunakan Tenaga Piko Hidro di Yayasan Pendidikan Islam Terpadu Aisyah Maksum

Abstract

Utilization of waste energy must continue to be developed as a popular power plant. Heat, flow, vibration, pressure, and light are wasted energy. One of the uses of this energy is the flow of water pipes. The flow of water pipes potentially for electric power, water turbines and pico hydro generators are connected to the water flow pipes which are usually inches in size. The water turbine is placed at the beginning of the water source both from the tap, after the wellbore pump and after the water reservoir. This can overcome energy savings and electricity costs. The laying of this water can be placed in front of the water faucet. Therefore, in this study, the magnitude of the potential electrical energy released by the flow of water for 6 faucets, 12, 18, and 23 by designing and testing tools placed in the water pipe flow entering the reservoir and after the reservoir for a capacity of 1000 L. From the results of designing and testing the PLTPH of the water flow at the Foundation Aisyah Maksum's education included testing of 6 faucets producing 4.88 V, 1.356 Watts, for 12 faucets producing 8.5 V, 2.862 Watts, for 18 faucets producing 13.05 V, 7.02 Watts, and finally 23 faucets producing 17.65 V, 15.497 Watts. Load simulation in the form of a 220V, 460 Watt transfer pump with 3-50 L/min. Electrical energy is obtained from the Solar Charge Controller (SCC) which has a DC booster and stored in the battery. The load has supplied via the inverter to the transfer pump as alternative energy if the PLN goes out
