Abstract

Micro-hydro power plants take advantage of the energy potential of low-head airflow. with the development of technology that can support it, namely the Archimedes screw turbine as the driving force. Various parameters must be considered to determine the performance of micro hydro power plants with Archimedes screw turbines. A design is carried out with a discharge parameter flow rate of 2 l/s, a turbine slope of 300, and an immersion level variation of 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7, where the final result shows the value of torque, hydraulic power, mechanical power, generator, and efficiency, which decreases with the level of water immersion in the last blade.
