Abstract

In searching for a turbine suitable for microhydro power generation, it must align with the characteristics of the river flow, such as the river head, water discharge, and flow velocity. In this study, the Archimedes screw turbine was chosen because of its ease of manufacturing, high efficiency, and ability to handle appropriate loads. Its operating principle involves the flow of water from the bottom of the screw turbine, entering the space between the screw blades (buckets), and then exiting from the top of the turbine. The rotation of this turbine rotor powers the electric generator connected to the top of the screw turbine, producing electrical energy. Therefore, the design of the screw turbine and static load simulation using SolidWorks 2022 software are necessary. The research aims to determine the extent of strain and stress distribution on the screw blades when subjected to static loads. The design is based on calculations from literature and utilizes data collected from the Cilember River in Bogor using the float method. From this data, a flow rate of 0.460 L/s and a water head of 0.36 m are obtained. The calculated results also indicate a blade diameter of approximately 0.1866 m, a turbine shaft diameter of 0.1 m, a turbine length of 0.8086 m, a turbine pitch of 0.1863 m, with a total of 4 threads on the turbine. The estimated potential power generation is around 8624 kW. Through static load simulation, it is found that the maximum stress value reaches 3.59 x 106 N/𝑚2, and the maximum strain is about 7.88 x 10−3 mm at the examined node point, involving a total of 38871 elements.
