Abstract
This study aims to optimize the flow of irrigation in Taipa Tompobulu village, Maros Regency, Indonesia, to meet the electricity needs of hamlet communities with the construction of micro-hydro power plants. The study was conducted by measuring and calculating the water power that can be produced by the irrigation flow in the Taipa Tompobulu, followed by calculating the electricity needs of the community in the hamlet. If it is feasible, the construction of micro hydro power plant can be done. Construction begins from dams, penstock pipes, turbine houses containing cross-flow turbines of rotary transmission systems and generators, construction is also done on power transmission lines and home electrical installations. The results demonstrate that the flow of irrigation in Taipa Tompobulu is feasible as a water resource for the construction of micro-hydro power plants. The construction of micro hydro power plants is able to meet the lighting needs of hamlet communities at night.
