Abstract
Water flow can be used as an energy source because it contains potential energy, mechanical energy and enthalpy energy. This energy can be converted into electrical energy with micro hydro technology. This study aims to determine the effect of variations in water discharge on input power, to determine the effect of variations in water discharge on output power, to determine the effect of variations in water discharge on system efficiency. The research begins by conducting a study of related literature on water turbines and electricity generators. The next step is to create a research design. Research design contains all things related to research. After the research design is complete, the research implementation begins. The first step is to prepare the tools and materials. The second step is assembling the tools. The third step is testing the performance of the tool. The fourth step is data collection in accordance with the research objectives. The fifth step is analysis of the research data and making conclusions. From this research it can be seen that the greater of discharge, causes the greater of the turbine input power. The greater of discharge, causes the greater of the generator output power. The greater the of discharge, causes the lower efficiency of the generator system.
