Perancangan Turbin Francis untuk Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Minihidro di Lhok Sandeng Kabupaten Pidie Jaya
Abstract: The increase of
population, followed by the increasing growth of the industry led to high
demand of electricity. Many different ways have been done to find and use
natural potential as electrical energy that can be used. The potential energy
of water is one of the energy that can be converted into electrical energy
maximally. One of still unused water potential energies is the water of Krueng
Meureudu in Pidie Jaya. The river location is in Lhok Sandeng village, Meurah
Dua sub district, Pidie Jaya. The width of the river ranges from 30 to 50 meter
with the debit of about 10÷15 m3/ s. This can be used to generate electricity
using Francis type water turbines to meet the energy requirements of the
surrounding population. The first step in designing the turbine is to determine
the turbine type based on the value of specific rotation (Ns) obtained from the
head (H) and debit data (Q). Then, the design of main components, which are
runner, shaft, spiral casing, guide vane and draft tube. Thus, based on the
calculation, the dimensions and designs of the main components of the Francis
turbine are obtained.
