PENGARUH JUMLAH SUDU TERHADAP OPTIMALISASI KINERJA TURBIN KINETIK RODA TUNGGAL
ABSTRACT: Indonesia has a
great potential to develop hydropower, because Indonesia's mountainous
topography and hilly and is drained by numerous rivers (large and small), and
in certain areas there are lakes or reservoirs and the potential of water as an
energy source. Hydroelectric Power Plant (PLTA) is a technology that has been
proven to not harm the environment, support the diversification of energy as
renewable energy, support the use of fuel reduction program, and most of the
construction using local materials. Kinetic Turbine is one of the options in
utilizing the potential of the kinetic energy in the form of velocity, kinetic
studies using vertical shaft turbine, blade-shaped bowl that can withstand the
flow in order to increase the tangential force generated.Amount
ofkineticturbine bladesis one ofthe variablesthat affect therotationandtangentialstyle
ofaturbine, so the effecton the value ofthe powerand
efficiencyofakineticturbine. The results showedthe influence ofthe number
ofbladesonthepowerand efficiency ofbladenumber5,7,9and11,where the number
ofblades11have a greater influencethan thenumber ofblade5,7, and9.
