| dc.description.abstract | The popularity of energy is getting higher as the
availability of fuel oil, and coal is running low and
environmental issues are getting stronger. Two potential
renewable energy sources in Indonesia are solar and hydro
energy. Utilization of solar and hydro energy can be carried
out simultaneously to serve small temporary electrical loads.
Therefore, this study designed a portable hybrid solar and
micro hydro power plant. The portable nature that is easy to
carry and move according to the needs is the novelty and
essential contribution of this research. This power plant, with a
maximum capacity of 1100 watts, can be used in open areas
with irrigation canals, ditches, or small rivers. Rice fields with
irrigation canals or small rivers are suitable locations for the
application of this power plant. In modern agriculture, it is
necessary to supply electricity for lights that are useful for
eradicating insect pests. Electrical energy can also be used to
pump water in rice fields. The designed hybrid power plant has
been tested in a natural environment. The test results have
shown adequate power plant performance as an essential
solution to supply small-scale electricity loads while promoting
environmentally friendly energy. | en_US |
