STUDI POTENSI PEMBANGKIT LISTRIK TENAGA PIKO HIDRO DI ALIRAN SUNGAI IRIGASI SUBAK WERDI PUTRA SEDANA KABUPATEN BADUNG

Abstract

In addition to solar and wind energy, the hydrological cycle can be used for energy
sources by utilizing waves or currents or water potential e nergy due to differences in water level.
This water energy is energy that has not been utilized optimally. In general, the utilization of this
energy source is carried out on a large scale and requires very large costs. According to
observations, the Dukuh Moncos Traditional Village has the potential for generating electricity
because the river flows are quite stable and sustainable. In this study, a study was conducted
on the potential of the Werdi Putra Sedana irrigation river flow around the Kelaci Templ e, Dukuh
Moncos Traditional Village, Sobangan Village, Mengwi District, Badung Regency to be utilized
as a pico hydro power plant with quantitative and descriptive methods. This study was carried
out by measuring the water flow rate then measuring the head or height difference then continuously measuring the hydraulic potential, from the measurement stage and obtaining the
results then calculating the potential power generated by the irrigation river so that the power
generated was obtained. The flow of the Werdi Putra Sedana subak river in Banjar Hamlet
Moncos, Sobangan Village, Mengwi District, Badung Regency has the potential to be used as
an alternative energy source, namely a pico hydro power plant (PLTPH) with an average power
of 3.86 kW.
