Abstract
Utilization of water energy as a renewable energy source generally requires high investment. But for the scale of prototype can be done by using materials that exist around the residence. One form of utilization is to use Micro Hydro Power Plant. The main component used in Micro Hydro Power Plant is turbine, in this prototype scale research is used turbine screw. The use of turbine screw started in Europe at the end of 2007 ago, in Indonesia just started in 2009 area of ​​West Java. Threaded turbines have high efficiency and can work on low head, this is in accordance with the number of potential water energy with low head in Indonesia. But as a new turbine technology, so far there is very little theory or reference available regarding research and references on threaded turbines. Lots of design parameters that have not been well known, one of which is the slope of the turbine shaft. The purpose of this research is to know the characteristics of turbine type scew water operated with various operational needs. The experimental method was conducted experimentally by finding and determining the optimum shaft angle angle, comparing the slope of the turbine shaft, with a pitch angle of 30°, 45° and 60°. While the discharge water is 4 m3 / h, 6 m3/h, 8 m3/h, 10 m3/h, 12 m3/h and 14 m3/h. Based on the results of the tests that have been done and analyzed it can be concluded that the screw turbine with a shaft angle of 60° and water flow 14 m3/h better and effective than the angle of the shaft 30° and 45°.
