ANALISIS ENERGI LISTRIK YANG DIHASILKAN OLEH PEMBANGKIT LISTRIK TENAGA MINI HIDRO (PLTM) DI LAHAT SUMATERA SELATAN
Mini Hydropower Plants (MHP) are renewable energy systems that convert the potential energy of water into electrical energy through turbines and generators. This research was conducted at the Green Lahat Mini Hydropower Plant in South Sumatra to analyze the electrical energy produced and evaluate the influence of water discharge and net head variations on the generated output power. The research methodology includes literature review, primary and secondary data collection, and technical analysis based on the velocity triangle calculations of a Francis turbine. Performance observations were carried out during dry and rainy seasons to determine the operational response of the turbine under varying field conditions. The results indicate that water discharge has a significant influence on the output power of the hydropower plant. During the rainy season, with a maximum discharge of 16 m³/s and a net head of 89.04 m, the mechanical power reached 10.46 MW. In the dry season, with a minimum discharge of 9.33 m³/s and a net head of 89.04 m, the mechanical power decreased to 7 MW. The overall system efficiency was measured at 79%, indicating that the operational performance of the Green Lahat MHP is within an optimal and expected range for a Francis turbine system.
