Micro hydropower plant potential study based on Landsat 8 operational land imager satellite data

Remote sensing technology has been widely applied in various fields, including oil, gas, and mineral exploration, spatial planning, environmental monitoring. This paper describes the application of remote for potential study a renewable micro hydropower plant (MHP) using Landsat 8 satellite data. The Sukaati Watershed, West Java, Indonesia, was selected as case area. data, acquired on August 21, 2020, to extract information land use, geology, landslides. Drainage patterns, watershed boundaries, head height were obtained from topographic map use are used calculate flow rates. Geological landslide basis layout MHP components, such water intake, dam, waterway, settling tank, penstock, powerhouse. A field survey acquire actual rate conducted validate results data interpretation. Two sites with design 129 kW 5.18 MW. showed that is beneficial studying because fieldwork can be done more quickly efficiently.
