TINJAUAN DEBIT SUNGAI MAITING UNTUK PERENCANAAN PEMBANGUNAN PLTMH MA’DONG II KABUPATEN TORAJA UTARA

Abstract

This research is motivated by the condition of rural areas located in highland areas which are still limited by electricity supply, a fundamental reason for empowering the water potential of the Maiting River to be a source of a powerful Mini Hydro Power Plant (PLTMH). This study aims to find out how to determine the discharge needed to generate electricity from the Ma'dong II PLTM and to find out the effective discharge of the river needed to generate electricity at the Ma’dong II PLTM. In initiating this study secondary data collection such as rainfall data, climatology data, daily rainfall, mainstay discharge and effective fall height were obtained from the Makassar Meteorology and Geology Agency (BMKG) and Ma'dong II PLTM. The method used in calculating Evapotranspiration is the Penman Modification Method. Mainstay Debit calculations using the F.J.Mock Method. The results showed that the F.J.Mock Method produced a mainstay discharge (Q80) of 5.55 m3 / sec
