<![CDATA[South Sulawesi is an area which has abundant hydro energy. Thus allowing the construction of hydro power plant. According to Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) in 2012, South Sulawesi has 72.22% electrification ratio. It shows that there are 27.78% areas of South Sulawesi which have not supplied by electricity. To overcome this, a pico-scale independent power plant is required. Propeller type of picohydro power plant is one of the hydro power plants that can be used in unsupllied areas . This type of plant requires only 2-10 m head so that it has a wide coverage area usage. Beside that, it is very easy in maintenance and simple in construction. Seeing this, picohydro power plant’s design and proper test is important to do as a solution for the people in an unsupplied area. Based on design and proper test , a hydro power plant with 180 mm diameter turbine tap and 55 mm diameter turbine hub, 4 turbine blades and 7 % as the highest system efficiency is constructed.]]>
