Land degradation on the upstream of watershed will affect hydrology condition in a way that it will disrupt the sustainability of its existing micro hydro. The purpose of this study is to evaluate micro hydro power plant in central Java toward sustainability against hydrology condition of watershed. This study is using River Regime Coefficient (RRC) approach where hydrology of watershed with coefficient value less than 50 is classified as non-critical, between 50 and 120 is moderate and more than 120 is critical. Result of the study that was done on 33 micro hydro power plants scattered on 9 watersheds is showing that there are 2 power plants on 2 watersheds have hydrology condition in non-critical status (9.09%), 1 power plant on 1 watershed is in between critical and non-critical status (3.03%), 21 power plants on 3 watersheds are in between critical and moderate status (63.64%), 8 power plants on 6 watersheds are in critical status (21.21%) and 1 power plant on 1 watershed is in between moderate and critical status (3.03%).

This work is within the scope of set of consultancy studies made for Portuguese islands. It focuses on the integration of Pumped Storage Power in isolated islands. The paper starts to address several power systems circumstances about two Portuguese islands on the energetic level. For each of these islands, an independent examination of the conditions to install a reversible hydro power plant is accomplished. Therefore, the energy volume to be stored due to excess of renewable generation and the ideal power and number of the pumps and turbines to be installed were identified and evaluated for the sake of using the produced energy surplus as to be pumped and later generated. The paper enhances the importance of storing energy in the operation of isolated and small systems with considerable amount of intermittent power resources as well as the conditions for the viability of installing new exploitations of this kind.

Hydro Power Plants

Microhydro power plant (MPP) is a small-scale power plant that uses water energy. The process of energy change occurs in a device called a synchronous generator. when the synchronous generator is given an arbitrary load, then the voltage will change. These results cause voltage and frequency instability. This research was conducted to analyze the voltage and frequency instability in MPP. The research method used in this research is descriptive quantitative approach in the village of Soko Kembang, Petungkriyono District, Pekalongan Regency, Central Java. This study provides an overview and explanation of the problems regarding the voltage and frequency instability of Micro Hydro Power Plants. The results of this study are the highest and lowest voltage / frequency instability values, namely 235 volts / 51 Hz and 160 volts / 44 Hz, due to the influence of changes in load current, which can affect the rotational speed of the generator changes, resulting in unstable voltage and frequency generated by the generator, the rotational speed of the generator changes, resulting in unstable voltage and frequency generated by the generator. The solution is  add water power to rotate the shaft of the turbine and generator to be tighter, so that it can reduce the value of the decrease in electric power by losses to the turbine and generator. Large electric power can increase voltage and frequency without having to adjust the load, and the need for improvement of the ELC system in order to get a more effective value of voltage and frequency stability.

Hydro Power Plants

The dependence of power plants on energy sources such as diesel, natural gas and coal is almost 75%, encouraging the development of renewable energy in an effort to meet the electricity supply. One of them is the micro hydro power plant by utilizing the potential of existing water. The working principle of PLTMH is to change the potential energy of water into electrical energy. In this final project has been designed modeling of micro hydro power plant by using screw turbine (Archimedes Screw). The turbine used resembles a drill bit, with a diameter of a turbine of 26 cm, a screw width of 10 cm, and an amount of 10 pieces of blade. Measurements made on the modeling of micro hydro power plants include: water discharge, turbine rotation, generator rotation, voltage, current, torque and generator output power and efficiency. The parameters are measured by changing the water fall on the turbine from the position of the turbine head angle 00, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 700, 800  and 900 . The result of measurement that has been done on the parameters of micro hydro power plant modeling, obtained the highest measurement result at the corner of turbine head 400. The output power generated is 10.92 watts, torque is 0.60 Nm and efficiency of 14%. The results obtained are still low because the turbine rotation is less able to rotate the generator, where the generator torque is greater than the torque in the turbine. This is influenced by the small water discharges in the modeling of this micro hydro power plant.

Hydro Power Plants

The characteristic of the united power system of Ukraine, based on thermal, nuclear and hydro power plants, as well as on alternative and renewable sources, is carried out. The structure of power system potential indicates a lack of maneuver capacity, some plants are of low mobility. Thermal power is in critical condition due to expired service time of the main technological equipment, additionally, it is a huge source of emissions of harmful substances into the environment. An attempt to use them to cover peak loads only worsens their critical state.It is suggested to restore thermal power on the basis of combined steam and gas power plants. Moreover, for operation of gas section it is necessary to use working substance, which is formed in an additional furnace by heating the compressed air with heat from combustion of some part of coal flow, which subsequently enters the main furnace. The steam and gas generation branches are parallel connected, which extends the range of power change (increasing its maneuverability.) Gas generation increases mobility (rate of power change). For combustion of organic fuel, oxygen enriched atmospheric air is fed, and a nitrogen-based fraction can form a working substance for gas generation. With such an organization of combustion the coefficient of excess air can be ignored, which enables to reduce the volume of flue gases. The membrane separation of atmospheric air into fractions - one en-riched with oxygen, and another with nitrogen, improves the environmentalperformance of a power plant, while increasing its power and economic indices. On the example of the boiler unit TP-92 the basic parameters of a power plant are checked by a calculation method. It is confirmed that the proposed technical solutions point to the correctness and validity of the assumptions. Analysis of the existing technical level of scientific research increases confidence in perspective of the selected direction.
