Abstract :
Water pump (NS-50) was operated as a turbine
for the Pico Hydro Power Plant was an idea in finding
alternative energy that is simple and easy to assemble. In
this study, the water pump (NS-50) was operated as a
turbine, so that the working principle was reversed,
where water from a certain height will move the pump, so
that the pump impeller rotates and continues to rotate the
generator and will produce electrical energy. In this
study, the water pump (NS-50) is operated as a turbine,
the working principle of the pump is reversed, water from
a certain height will move the pump impeller, so that the
pump impeller rotates and the pump shaft will rotate the
generator and produce electrical energy. This study
emphasizes the pump which was operated as a turbine
(PAT) by utilizing a height difference of 14.51 m at a flat
distance of 46.21 m with a pipe installation with a slope of
17.43o
. The variable used is the discharge calculated from
the water level height (H) at different V-notch weirs,
namely 15 cm, 12 cm and 11 cm with the impeller used
having an inlet and outlet angle of 30/75. The pump was
connected to a generator to generate electricity. From the
research results, the best efficiency that can be achieved
was 23.33%, the rotation was 1500 rpm and the power
generated was 283.5 watts.
