The Performance of Undershot Water Turbine Combined With Spiral Tube Pump On Empowerment of Energy Resources Local Contiguous Small River

Abstrak

Hundreds  of  kilometers  of  irrigation  canals  are  generally contiguous    the  village  has  not  been  maximally  helpful  as  well most  of  damaged.  Basically,  in  the  water  flow  available  an amount  of  energy  could  be  harnessed  as  a  renewable  energy resources. Shortage of water and electricity supplies are the major issues  encountered  by  the  villager.  Irrigation  canals  have  head differences    including  low  coupled  lies  in  lowland  areas. Picohydro electric generation, undershot-type water turbine suited for low high head applications in attemp to gain the electricity. To move the water, spiral tube pump mounted on the turbine can be installed  simultaneously  on  generating  systems.  The  turbine developed has an outer diameter of 2 m with 18 pieces of straight blade prepared from the material of aluminum. On the side of the turbine  wall  embeded  the  spiral  tube  pump  with  5  coils  was designed  to  operate  concurrently  with  electrical  generation.  The height  of  water  resources  varied  by  controlling  the  opening  of sluice  gates  to  find  out  the  potential.    Throughout  study  the maximum  electric  voltage  achievements  was  125  volt.  At  the same time, the pump discharged the water with 9 liters per menit. These  results  provide  sufficient  supply  of  freshwater  and electrical power for a family at contiguous area.
