Preliminary Analysis of Mini Portable Hydro Power Plant Using Archimedes Screw Turbine

The design of portable hydro power plant requires data from measurement results at one of the research locations. Observational data is from the authors get when reviewing directly to the objectivity place. This data is obtained through 3 stages, namely Survey location, Quantitative and Analysis of the data obtained. From the results of the survey to the field, the authors get the data needed in this case like differences of elevation water (Head), Flow water distribution (V), functional width (L) and Area of the river (A) and also Water discharge (Q). According to the calculations that have been calculated using Archimedean Screw implementations, the turbine thread design selected is 22 degrees and the turbine angle is 30 degrees and the calculations results is Outer Diameter (D) 30 cm, Inner Diameter (d) 9 cm and Efficiency of turbines (η) is 59,6%. So, it can be inferred that with that Archimedean screw design and calculation, the designs completely enter into portable design within income energy we can get from theoretical power generated of 1114.42 Watts, the Power Capability of the Turbine is 664.2 Watts, the Power from the generator is 564 Watts and Efficiency from Hydropower itself 117.8%.
