The mission of the Institut Teknologi Sumatera (ITERA) is to contribute to the empowerment of the potential that exists in the Sumatra region. In line with this mission, in an effort to support the acceleration of renewable energy growth in Sumatra, labor needs to be prepared that can be used directly by students to prove theory in class, one of which is a hydroelectric power plant, with a small capacity (pico hydro) with the use of ITERA reservoir water. This paper will discuss the design of a pico hydro power plant that matches the conditions of the ITERA reservoir by modeling using Matlab / Simulink. The simulation results with a 5.46 meter head and a 0.4 m3 / s discharge obtained a power of 12.61 kW.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
