| Summary: | Micro hydro as one of the current renewable energy power plants can be
used as an alternative energy for areas that have not been powered by PLN. The
constructiom does not always require a high cost, one of the solution is to utilize
the Water Release Chamber owned by PDAM. In this research takes place on
Water Release Chamber IV PDAM Malang that has the potential of water until
100 l /sec. In addition to micro hydro development in terms of mechanical and
electrical with the information and control technology developed at this time
should be used for various things that can be used in assisting our daily tasks.
Monitoring a data measurement as real time and data acquisition can be used to
increase renewable energy sources, monitoring the efficiency, security and sends
the data using a intercommunication system.
In this study created a monitoring system to monitor and collect data in
real time from the output of the generator at the Microhydro in BPT IV. Design of
the controller hardware using a series of AT Mega 8, voltage sensors, current
sensors, and frequency sensors while to display and design of software using
Visual Basic 6. Next on the display will show the value of current, voltage,
frequency, power consumption and load graphical display. The results from the
use of the load can be stored in table form and can be saved through Microsoft
Excel. Camera used to monitoring the of the Microhydro equipments and the tub
press release situation.
The results of testing in the laboratory used to determine the suitability of
the measurement with the measuring instrument with the display on a monitoring
system with a value of 2.3% error voltage sensor, 2,5 % current sensor and sensor
frequency of 0.4%. This indicates that this monitoring system has been able to
read well the measurement results. But for the transmitter and receiver module is
still not working properly because at the time of the test the data transmission,
receivers module can not receive the perfect data that sent by the transmitter.
