Abstract

Simulator of Pelton type micro hydro power plant is a laboratory facility owned by Department of Mechanical Engineering of Mayasari Bakti University. This facility is used for development research in energy conversion. The research focuses on performance simulator that using half-spherical profile bucket attached in propeller. There are 8 buckets installed in a propeller. The aim of this research is to study the performance of the simulator system. The main indicator of performance is indicated by system efficiency (η system %). The research methodology used in this study is experimental with quantitative data produced by testing and measuring the variables. This study is implemented according to Bernoulli’s Law, mechanical system used in Kinematic and Dynamic and Ohm’s Law. During testing results debit, mass flow rate, thrust force due to water pressure, shaft revolution, electric current, electric voltage and power. These parameters are used to analyze performance of simulator. The performance of simulator using half-spherical profile bucket shows 7.28 % increase. The average of efficiency of simulator of Pelton type micro hydro is 74.28 %.
