ABSTRACT
Jangailulu village is a village that has not been reached by PLN, so people still
use diesel fuel as a fuel for generators. Whereas in the village, there is potential for
discharge and high fall which can be used as a Micro Hydro Power Plant (PLTMH).
The PLTMH is planned to use a water level regulator (weir) that directs the flow to
the intake channel and flows back towards the Jangailulu River. To determine the
design debit using a mainstay discharge with a probability of 90%. The discharge is
then used to determine the hydraulic design of the carrier channel. Also, weirs are
also needed to raise the water level. Determination of turbines using a graph of the
ratio of height to fall and discharge. The results of Q90 discharge calculation = 0.650
m3 /s. The dam is planned with a width of 18 m and a height of 1.5 m. With a height
falling of 8 m, the Jangailulu MHP uses a turbine propeller. The power generated
from Jangailulu MHP is 33.39 kW
Key words: micro hydro, electric power, turbine, mainstay discharge

1. INTRODUCTION
The availability of electrical energy has a strategic position in supporting development,
especially in rural areas, to transform or change from an agrarian society to a more agro-
industrial society. The West Halmahera District Government has established several policies,

namely the construction of electricity supply facilities in undeveloped areas, the construction
of electricity in remote areas, and rural electricity development. Indonesia has the potential of
hydro potential for hydroelectric power and mini/micro hydro power plants spread throughout
Indonesia with a total estimate of 75,000 MW. However, only about 9% of the potential is
exploited in the form of large-scale power plants and small-scale power plants [1].
The potential of micro hydro power plants is large enough to be developed. Many small
rivers have a lot of energy to be exploited by electrification of hydropower, from pico-hydro
to micro-hydro scales. Especially in Indonesia, on many islands. their country has great
potential to use micro-hydro in many rivers and high rainfall because many parts of Indonesia
are located on the equator [2]. Mini Hydro is an economical choice for rural electrification
compared to other renewable energy sources such as solar and windMini Hydro is an
economical choice for rural electrification compared to other renewable energy sources such
as solar and wind.[3]
Based on AHP fuzzy, which involves a new procedure for aggregating expert opinions.
Several selection criteria that are suitable for Indonesia are also introduced. Hydropower is
found to be the best renewable energy source, followed by geothermal, solar, wind energy and
biomass. Several selection criteria that are suitable for Indonesia are also introduced.

Microhydro Power Plant (MHP) is a form of local primary energy utilization, which is
usually built in remote areas that are not covered by the PLN electricity network. The
utilization of hydraulic energy is, in fact, recognized at the international level. Paish states that
where hydropower resources exist, experience has shown that no way is more cost-effective,
reliable, and environmentally friendly to provide power than a hydropower system. [5]
From an economical perspective, the operation of a Mini / Micro hydro generator is more
efficient than other renewable energy sources such as wind or sun. Solar cells convert about
10% to 12% of direct light energy into electrical energy while micro-hydro units have
efficiencies between 60% and 90%. From an economic point of view, also considering the
operating costs of a power plant, the return period is good. Research shows that small-scale
renewable energy systems are cost-effective for both private and government entities [6]
2. METHODOLOGY
2.1. Topographic Survey
Topographic surveys and measurements are carried out to obtain an overview of the locations
of the PLTMH buildings and as a basis for determining the capacity, type of
generator/building and the volume of buildings to be carried out. Work Site Investigation is
carried out in conjunction with topographic study activities and measurement of river
discharge where this work includes:
 Collecting data on potential water, demographic and territorial resources, socio-economic data
and electrification in the area of feasibility study and implementation of Participatory Rural
Appraisal (PRA) activities.
 Measuring the location contour, determining the height and slope of the rapid pipeline,
determining the position of weir, waterway, and tailrace.
 Describe the generator layout and the length of the rapid pipe to be used.

 Determine waterway traces, rapid pipelines, and other buildings.
 Measuring instantaneous water discharge using the current meter and looking for information
on flood and discharge during the dry season.
2.1. Data Collection Technique
In this study, the authors used rainfall data and river discharge data as reference data. Rainfall
data is obtained from the closest rainfall observation station to the research location, namely
the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) Sultan Babullah Ternate.
Rainfall data were taken in the form of maximum monthly daily data from 2008 - 2017. while
the river discharge data is taken directly at the study location.
3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1. Social Condition
The development of micro-hydro power plant took place in the Jangailulu district. The district
is 50 km away from city of Jailolo at the coordinates 01˚55’41” S to 127˚44’52” E, at position
1700 m high from sea level. The official resource has mentioned that 292 people live in the
villages.
3.2. Flood Debit Plans
The method of determining the planned flood discharge will be carried out by the Nakayasu
synthetic unit hydrograph method, the results of the recapitulation are presented in the
following table 1:

Q100 126.83
3.2. Mainstay Debit
To get the capacity of a Micro Hydro Power Plant (PLTMH), it cannot be separated from the
calculation of how much water can be used to generate MHP. Mainstay discharge is a debit
that is still possible for the operational security of a water building, in this case, MHP. The
results of the recapitulation are presented in the following table 2:

3.3. Dam Building Design
For PLTH Jangailulu Planning, the Q50th flood discharge is 119.10 m3
/s. The dam is planned
to have a lighthouse of 1.5 m, and the width of the river is planned to be 18 m, with a width of
1 m rinse door and one meter thick. Dam specifications can be seen in table 1 and fig. 1.

3.3. Sedative Pool Design
The purpose of the sedimentary tank is as a place to relax and settle. Forebay is the place
where the start of a fast pipe (penstock) controls the minimum flow, in anticipation of the
rapid flow of the turbine, without reducing excessive elevation and causing backflow on the
channel. Calm is equipped with a filter (trash rack) and runoff.

Rapid pipeline (penstock) serves as a discharge carrier channel from the sediment to the
turbine. Rapid pipelines are planned using PVC pipes. Rapid pipe specifications as in table 5.
