Micro hydro power plants are power plants that utilize the potential energy of water to produce electrical energy. The country of Indonesia has potential for the construction and development of micro hydro power plants. Indonesia has vast natural wealth, looking at the potential of this power plant, it seems like it could become an advanced technology for the country of Indonesia. Apart from that, the existence of micro hydro power plants can help maintain natural resource ecosystems such as rivers.

The development of PLTMH certainly provides many benefits for the community, such as the availability of community water and electricity that can be adequate for remote villages can be a tourist attraction to learn about renewable energy and the working system of PLTMH. Micro hydro power plants are very useful in helping the country’s electricity because the source comes from natural resources and if there are problems with the state electricity company, the PLTMH can help to meet the population’s electricity needs.

Micro hydro power generation can be an environmentally friendly technology because its working system has no impact on polluting the environment, but has a good impact on the natural resource ecosystem. These power plants are usually found in villages to provide adequate water energy, so villages are the right location. It is because the villages are close to water sources, such as rivers. This generator does not have a pollution impact, such as air pollution or water pollution. The existence of PLTMH can make people more concerned about making better and less polluted use of natural resources. Hopefully this power plant can provide good benefits to the community and also natural resources. People also learn to conserve natural resources.

Development of PLTMH Batu Malang City

One of the PLTMH in Indonesia is located in Malang Regency, Batu City. The development of PLTMH was built along with river water discharge, with bamboo plants planted along the river. This river water discharge was built with the aim of agricultural cultivation by saving water. From the results of research in Batu City, the community’s drinking water needs for 50 families is 100 liters per person a day with a pump working duration of 16 hours per day. The electrical power built at PLTMH Bumiaji, Batu City is 7.28 kW.

The existence of PLTMH will certainly really help residents’ needs for water and electricity. Of course we see the advantages of micro hydro power plants from here, what used to be a shortage of water and electricity for the population can finally be met. It can be seen that the important role of PLTMH in a village has a positive impact on the local population.

Examining the Potential of Water Discharge and Electrical Energy from PLTMH

Choosing the right location for PLTMH construction must of course be in accordance with predetermined criteria. Criteria that must be met, include the length of the distribution network using low voltage and the maximum distance between the generator and the load of 12 km, there are residents around the PLTMH, the potential electrical power is not more than 100 kW, the availability of river water is long enough for around a year, access to the PLTMH is accessible, the location is near natural resources which does not damage natural resources and follows regulations. The PLTMH building itself consists of a building that will channel water, a settling tank, an overhead channel, a rapid pipe, and a turbine along with a generator.

The PLTMH working system uses the water level and water discharge in the river flow. Reliable discharge is water discharge that can be available throughout the year in order to overcome risks for irrigation and hydropower purposes. This is an advantage of micro hydro power plants because they can overcome water availability. As currently there is a fairly long dry season, the existence of PLTMH and PLTA will certainly really help the country’s electricity supply for the population’s water and electricity supply.

State Electricity Company Builds Micro Hydro Power Plant

The State Electricity Company (PLN) is building a PLTMH to invest and support renewable energy. The electricity capacity produced is 8.95 megawatts, with an investment value of 200 billion. The PLTMH they built is located in Batanghari, West Sumatra, with a capacity of 5.1 megawatts, in Titab Bali, with a capacity of 1.27 megawatts, and in Pandan Duri, NTB, with a capacity of 0.58 megawatts. The power plant uses a dam owned by PUPR. The three micro hydro power plants will produce an increase in renewable energy of 42 gigawatt hour (GWh) per year. The state power plant targets the plant to be operational in March 2024. By utilizing PUPR’s dam, it can shorten the time for adding water capacity. The number of dams in Indonesia really supports the development of PLTMH. The construction of PLTMH can save the country’s electricity budget.
