Indonesia is blessed with its abundant potential of renewable energy resources. It is believed that by some effective and optimal utilization would help Indonesia overcome the crisis of energy and resolve the classic problems in the utilization of conventional energy resources such as the availability of fuel supply and <br /> <br /> <br /> its negative effects to environment. Geothermal energy is one of the energy resources that has enormous potential in Indonesia. Its potential reached 27,000 MW. Instead <br /> <br /> <br /> of developing systems and new technologies research, the study of systems and equipment that have been applied should be done to enrich the literacy and improve <br /> <br /> <br /> understanding of the technology in PLTP as part of exploiting the huge potential optimally. <br /> <br /> <br /> The following final project is focusing on tracing the power distribution at each level of the turbine. Therefore, there would be some studies and calculations <br /> <br /> <br /> conducted here, such as the thermodynamic variables that affect the electric power based on the dimensions of data and operation data obtained by the method of trial and error to find the optimal value. With the steam flow rate considered constant throughout the flow inside the turbine, the main variables that affect the calculation of the absolute velocity are only going to be the angle of steam into blade, the degree of reaction and the relative velocity angle blade steam. <br /> <br /> <br /> The result of this final project is to obtain the distribution of power at each level of the turbine with a combination of the main variables that achieve greater <br /> <br /> <br /> value and vapor pressure turbine before entering the final level of turbine which is remained dataless.
