Abstract
The use of energy, especially for daily needs, is important. Pico hydro is an environmentally friendly power plant model that can take advantage of low flow rates and generate electricity below 1 kW. The purpose of this research is to obtain the best performance of pico hydro with a screw-shaped turbine model or what is called Archimedes Screw Turbine. The research method was carried out experimentally by adjusting the angle of the Archimedes screw turbine shaft, namely 30°, 45° and 60°. Observations at a discharge of 15 m3/h with an angle of 30° provide information that the screw turbine power obtained is 111.4 W with an efficiency of 57%. For an angle of 45° the power is 165.7 W and an efficiency of 77% while at an angle of 60° it produces 186 W of power with an efficiency of 87%. The results of this analysis prove that the pico-hydro model with a screw turbine by adjusting the angle variation on the turbine shaft gives the conclusion that the greater the given angle is, the greater the obtained performance will be, in terms of power and efficiency.
