Abstract
Abstract
The use of renewable energy has commonly concentrated on energy production through wind engines and solar panels. Nowadays, the micro-hydropower (MHP) plant has a great challenge as an important contributor to energy systems. Indonesia has the potential natural resources to develop that power plant, in the form of the river where is abundant throughout all provinces. The research aims to address solving issues regarding deficit energy by renewable energy production. The environmental and hydrological approaches were used to determine the location to obtain the optimal and proper utilization of MHP. The analysing from all modelling creates an economical assessment of MHP energy production. The result recommends MHP with the capacity of 2 x 4.0 MW and a total discharge of 14.30 m3/second whereas design flood discharge is 813.47 m3/second (Q100 year). The implementation of MHP is an effort to achieve independent energy in the region.
