Pengembangan Prototipe Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Pikohidro sebagai Media Pembelajaran berbasis Internet of Things

Energi listrik telah menjadi salah satu kebutuhan primer saat ini karena merupakan sumber energy yang menggerakan aktifitas serta mobilitas manusia modern. Sumber energi listrik konvensional yang berasal dari batu bara, gas, minyak, dan nuklir persediaannya terbatas, sehingga mendorong manusia untuk memanfaatkan sumber pembangkit energy listrik lain yang bersifat terbarukan. Air merupakan sumber energi terbarukan yang berpotensi besar dijadikan sebagai sumber pembangkit listrik. Pembangkit listrik tenaga pikohidro (PLTPH) merupakan salah satu alternatif yang dapat digunakan untuk menghasilkan energi listrik yang mampu menghasilkan daya listrik skala kecil yaitu sekitar 5 kW. Berdasarkan hal tersebut diatas maka dibuatlah sebuah desain Prototype PLTPH sebagai media pembelajaran untuk membantu mahasiswa dalam memahami konsep serta prinsip kerja pembangkit listrik tenaga pikohidro dalam menghasilkan energi listrik. Pada penelitian ini, sistem yang akan dibangun tersusun atas modul mikrokontroler arduino, modul ESP8266, sensor ACS712, sensor ZMPT101B, sensor water flow, sensor proximity switch, dan cloud computing thingspeak. Hasil pengukuran sensor terhadap arus, tegangan, debit air, dan rpm yang dihasilkan akan diproses lalu dikirimkan secara berkala ke database cloud computing thingspeak untuk dapat diakses secara real time. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian diketahui bahwa volume debit air mempengaruhi output rpm, tegangan, arus, dan daya yang dihasilkan generator

RANCANG BANGUN PROTOTIPE PEMBANGKIT LISTRIK TENAGA PIKOHIDRO BERBASIS KONTROL ARDUINO UNO

Abstract  Electrical energy is a very vital energy and plays an important role in the development of human technology. Almost all devices in the world use electrical energy as a source of energy. Indonesia is a country that has a large enough water energy potential of around 75,650 MW, 6% of which has been developed in various forms of research, especially in locations outside the islands of Java and Bali in the form of utilizing river water as a Pico Hydro Power Plant (PLTPH) to meet the needs of electrical energy in remote and remote areas. The design of this PLTPH prototype aims to analyze the output voltage generated by the generator which is influenced by the flow of water in the system which has been equipped with sensors monitoring current, voltage, rpm and water discharge which then the results can be seen in real time through the LCD screen. In this test, it is also known that the water discharge affects the output voltage produced by the generator, the greater the water discharge, the greater the output voltage
