Abstract

A 5 kW of cross-flow type micro hydro power plant has been designed to fulfill the need of energy in rural area in West Java. The primary data is taken on site by considering the height of water level, water flow rate, and other parameters related to topography of the location. The system is designed by two main steps of theoretical calculation and calculation-based construction. After installation on site, a maximum water flow rate of 63.7 liters/s and generator output power of 4,025 watt are smoothly reached. The expected 5 kW of generator output power is not yet obtained, due to many losses that still occur. This situation should encourage further study for more promising development.
