IMPULSE CROSS FLOW TURBINE WITH FOUR NOZZLES AS PRIME MOVER OF ELECTRIC GENERATOR

Water energy which is very good to be used as a source of electrical energy in underdeveloped areas has not been reached by electricity. The purpose of this research is to utilize water energy for the generation of electrical energy is to choose a four nozzle cross flow water turbine. The method used is to test a Cross Flow turbine with four nozzles as a micro-scale hydroelectric power generator. The results showed that a cross flow turbine with four nozzles is very good as a permanent magnet Direct Current generator that can work at a flow that is not too high. At a water discharge of 4.2x 10-3 m 3 /s and an outer diameter of 200 mm cross flow turbine with 24 blades, it can produce Cross Flow Turbine power with four nozzles is 3.251 Watt and generator power is 1.528 Watt.
