Micro Hydro Power Plant Design in Ibu Village, West Halmahera In Realizing an Autonomous Energy Village

Sari

Energy is one of the main needs of
human life. Energy enhancement can be an
indicator of the increasing prosperity of an area, but
simultaneously it also poses problems with supply.
An adequate and cheap as well as environmentally
friendly electrical energy supply for sustainable
economic and social development. Limitations of
electrical energy are one of the obstacles in the
construction and development of rural
communities.
The micro-hydro power plantis selected as one
of the alternative energy that are environmentally
friendly, pollution-free, renewable (renewable), not
consumptive of water use, durable (long life), and
small operational cost is suitable for remote areas.
The potential of hydro energy in the Province of
North Maluku contained in several regions,
including in Ibu Village, West Halmahera. Hydro
power potential has been exploited is still relatively
small. The utilization of hydropower proficiency
level is still relatively small because the potential is
usually located in remote areas that electricity
demand is relatively small, so for micro hydro
potential are located far from consumers has not
been utilized.
