The need of electricity in Indonesia increases day by day, including the need of electricity in villages or remote areas where still lack of electricity. Development and implementation of Distributed Generation (DG) concept can be an obvious way to answer this problem. Microturbine power plant system is a gas turbine system that can contribute to the implementation of DG. The most critical <br /> <br /> <br /> problem in this concept is the microturbine technology is still involving high investment cost. <br /> <br /> <br /> The concept of turbocharger based microturbine power plant system then can be a good choice since turbocharger are commercially produced in relatively low cost. A twin shaft turbocharger based microturbine power plant system has <br /> <br /> <br /> been developed implementing MHI TD05H and MHI TD08H turbochargers. In current research, two prototypes of a microturbine power plants were developed. <br /> <br /> <br /> The first prototype utilizes MHI TD05H turbocharger as a gas generator and also as a power turbine, meanwhile the second prototype used MHI TD05H turbocharger as a gas generator with turbocharger MHI TD08H as a power turbine. <br /> <br /> <br /> The performance test of the first prototype showed an unexpecting result, however the one of the second prototype gave a 104.52 W maximum power output at 0.06% efficiency. Further research for maximizing performance system of the second prototype need to be conducted in order to increase the values of maximum power output and efficiency.
