FEASIBILITY STUDY OF MINI HIDRO POWER PLANT IN THE RIVER MANULA PUGUNG COUNTRYDISTRICT OF WEST COASTAL LAMPUNGRosnita Rauf*), Helny Lalan, and BudimanDepartment of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering & Planning, Ekasakti UniversityJl. Veterans Dalam No. 26 B, PadangAbstractThe increase in demand for adequate supply of electricity increases with the increase in population. The energy source used today is from PT. PLN Persero. To generate electricity to this day is still dominated by fossil fuels, which is a source of energy that can not be renewed and not environmentally friendly. The Mini Hydro Power Plant is a renewable and environmentally friendly energy source that has the potential to replace fossil fuels. In this research, a feasibility study of mini hydro power plant which is located in West Coast Pesisir Regency of Lampung. This feasibility study, which we need to measure is the number of reliable water debit contained in one of the rivers of Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (TNBBS). The results showed that Manula river water discharge was Q = 20,32 m3 / s and Beda height or Head = 98 meter able to generate minimum power equal to 17,97 MW. From the results of power that can be generated, mini hydro power plant is feasible to be realized, but the need for further financial review.
