Abstract

Energy independence is a government program aiming to meet society's energy needs evenly. Steps to increase energy independence in the new and renewable energy sector include hydro-energy generation. One of the important components of a hydro generator is the penstock pipe and turbine housing, which channels water and then pushes and drives (spins) the turbine with the flow of water to produce electrical energy. The turbine housing flow design innovation must provide a function as an optimal fluid conductor by minimizing the resistance that occurs when fluid flows towards the turbine housing and rotates the turbine optimally. The scope of this research includes analysis of the phenomenon of energy loss flowing in circular pipe slices in hydroelectric power plant turbine housings with influencing factors such as friction, turbulence, and flow resistance, as well as measuring the pressure drop in circular pipe slices. The model developed is a circular slice bend with angles of 180 degrees, 270 degrees, 360 degrees, and 450 degrees, taking into account the optimal curvature ratio (R/D) of 3.5. Based on previous research, 90-degree wedge bends with many slices (n_(90-degree)) 4 to 6 or 4 and pressure drop coefficient (C_(pd-th)) obtained 180-degree (0.333 0.200), 270-degree (0.445 0.277), 360-degree (0.527 0.339), 450-degree (0.587 0.390) with a bend length L, an elevation reduction angle and a 1.5D upstream-downstream elevation difference to avoid contact between the upstream and downstream bends. The results obtained from this research are the slice modules that can be used and the resistance coefficient values that arise from the slice modules. The more slices selected according to the angle of inclination chosen, the smoother the resulting circular bend shape and the lower the resistance value, but the work will be more difficult. The most optimal slice module is the number of slices that allow its implementation, and the resistance coefficient is small. By knowing the optimal resistance coefficient value, the resulting pressure drop can be predicted to maximize the thrust to rotate the turbine.

Abstract

The multi-reservoir operation rules require accuracy in developing its technical parameters. This is done to prevent operational failure in one of the reservoirs. The water transfer concept is to manage the water resources distribution between the receiving watershed and the donor watershed. The availability of transferable water must be prioritized, meeting the water demand of the donor reservoir. Storage capacity in both reservoirs aims to meet water demand, especially in the recipient. The elevation of the interconnecting tunnel is the minimum limit for water use in simulation. The interconnected tunnels' location and capacity will determine the multi-reservoir's operation rule. The interconnected tunnel in the Rukoh Tiro reservoir transfers water in the operation of the two reservoirs. The simulation is carried out in three seasons, considering the inflow of each watershed, the reservoir's downstream water demand, and the reservoir's technical conditions. The simulation results of the Rukoh Tiro reservoir operated simultaneously in all three seasons show that the fulfillment of irrigation water demand can reach 100% as needed. The water transfer process through interconnected tunnels occurs throughout the year. The reservoir operating rule is expected to be a reference in the multi-reservoir operation to obtain an optimal reservoir operating rule.

Abstract

The population of Landungsari Village is very large, exceeding 9,000 people. With such a substantial population, the need for clean water and sanitation is also considerable. However, the potential sources of raw water for clean water reserves are very limited, especially surface water. The groundwater level at the study site is also quite deep, particularly in the southern parts of Landungsari Village. Rambakan and Bendungan hamlets have groundwater levels ranging from 15 to 25 meters deep. In contrast, Klandungan hamlet averages over 25 meters, and in the vicinity of Thursina Boarding School, it is more than 40 meters deep, making shallow wells impractical. Meanwhile, the clean water supplied by the PDAM is very limited. To address the issue of clean water availability, an investigation through groundwater estimation is necessary to ensure that the selected locations for deep well exploration are not in vain. The results of groundwater estimation must be representative and provide strong scientific justification for the accuracy of the findings. The method used in this investigation is the geoelectric resistivity method using ADMT-300H, which operates based on Darcy's law. It emits electromagnetic waves and measures soil resistivity to identify aquifer layers and determine the depth and thickness of the aquifer. The results obtained with ADMT-300H include: optimal discharge at well 1 (WL-1) of 3.07 l/s and well 2 (WL-2) of 3.14 l/s. Optimal discharge represents the sustainable limit for utilizing groundwater flow.
