VERIFIKASI KELAYAKAN PERENCANAAN PEMBANGKIT LISTRIK TENAGA MIKRO HIDRO (PLTMH) DI DESA API-API KECAMATAN WARU KABUPATEN PASIR KALIMANTAN TIMUR

Abstrak

Verification of Power Feasibility Planning Micro Hydro (PLTMH) Api-Api in Village, Kecamatan Waru, Kabupaten Pasir East. Indonesian electricity crisis. In 2008, the amount of electrical energy to be raised as much as 24 800 MW, while demand for reaching 26.250 MW, the average annual demand of 8.2%,). While 60% of the above plant using fossil fuel. With the increasing world oil prices. The Government issued a policy, through the President of the Republic of Indonesia Regulation No. 5 of 2006 on national energy policy to develop alternative energy sources as a substitute for fuel oil. The policy emphasis on renewable resources as an alternative fuel substitute for oil. The need for a security in the field of electric energy, to explore the sharing potential which can be used as a source of electrical energy. In an effort to follow up the above policy, efforts continue to produce energy, one of which is hydroelectric. Objectives to achieve is to assist the government in the effort to overcome the electricity crisis in Indonesia, as well as helping people who have not got the power of the State Electricity Company (PLN) Rural areas in particular, which has a source of hydropower. In theory that power can be generated is the product of water discharge (Q) with a high fall (H), to the earth's gravity (9.8 m / dt). Water pressure of the water turbine blades, so that the turbine rotates. Round rotor turbine used to rotate the generator, to produce an electric voltage.
