Design of Pico-Hydro Power Plant with Monitoring System Based on Internet of Things

Currently the electrification ratio in Banyumas Regency is around 79%. This means, of 1.7 million residents Regency, only 21% have not enjoyed PLN electricity. Those whose homes yet had electricity are on average who slopes mountain slopes, and some several groves remote areas which very far from network. problem can be overcome by providing electrical energy utilizing renewable alternative energy, one micro hydro or pico power plants an individual residential scale. Therefore, this research designed a simulation plant using Pelton turbine expected to able provide benefits general public, tool equipped with monitoring Google Firebase based Internet Things monitored via Android application for Voltage, current use INA219 sensor has been programmed Arduino Uno Node MCU ESP8266. uses 12-24 Volt DC generator, produces stored 12 5 Ah battery then converted inverter become AC In test Watt lamp load, voltage was initially 12.6 Volts reduced 9.9 Volts, load light up 1 hour. measuring current, generator 15.9 50.2 mA.
