In this paper, the hydro power plant model (with penstock-wall elasticity and compressible water column effect) is simulated at random load disturbance variation with output as turbine speed for random gate position as input. The multilayer perceptron neural network (i.e. NNARX) and fused neural network and fuzzy inference system (i.e. ANFIS) for identification of turbine speed as output variab...

Hydro-electric power utilities convert the potential energy of water to electricity through the operation of generation turbines. Each turbine unit has an operating range and incurs a fixed start-up cost. The problem of determining which turbines should be operating at any point during the day whilst ensuring that the demand for electricity is satisfied is known as the unit commitment problem. ...

The type of turbine developed is based on the very low head of water potential source for the electric power production. The area of research is focused for the axial water turbine that can be applied at the simple site open channel with has a very low cost and environmental impact compared to the conventional hydro installation. High efficiency of axial turbine which applied to the very low po...

Nowadays, the use of hydro energy in Indonesia is still focused on large-scale hydropower development which has negative effects environment such as changes natural flow rivers, disruption population aquatic biota that live these watersheds and risk potential disasters if dam fails. In fact, from mini-micro source 19,835 MW, but its utilization very low around 100 MW. Therefore, extraction wate...

The research methods are observation, area mapping, measurement flow and elevation, calculation electric power generated, Detail Engineering Design, cost economic feasibility.From analysis calculation,...

Micro hydro power plants are small-scale that use hydropower as their driving force. Hydropower can come from irrigation channels, rivers or natural waterfalls, which used by utilizing the waterfall height (head) and amount of water discharge. The main components this plant turbine generator. load on micro generator will affect value voltage frequency generated. This research attempts to make a...

The impact of greenhouse gas emissions is getting higher due to the use fossil energy drive power plants. Efforts replace it develop renewable that popular in Indonesia micro hydro technology. This study aims determine potential water and plant planning at Simbang Weir Pekalongan. method used combines flow measurements with floating techniques uses geographic information provided by Google Eart...

Clean energy harvesting and usage has gained considerable attention in the last few decades. While the horizontal axis wind turbines have been used extensively, they have certain defects and functional limitations. In the present paper, a novel oscillatory wind turbine is proposed. The conceptual design of the new turbine together with its configuration is explained. Dynamical equations of the ...
