| Summary: | Needs of electricity in Indonesia has been a primary needs for every society.
Nonetheless, the needs still fulfilled by either coal power plant or gas power plant which
does not categorize as renewable energy resources. This thesis report will conduct a study
of Francis Turbine design with 88 m head and 3.5 m3/s flow discharge, in order to
embrace the continuous improvement towards renewable energy, specifically water
power plant (PLTMH).
Design process will start by determining the spesific speed of the turbine in order
to calculate the whole dimension of turbine runner. With the dimension, the geometry of
the runner will be modeled on Ansys Bladegen Software. As all the Francis Turbine main
component already created, the performance of the turbine will be evaluated through
Ansys Fluent simulation.
Based on the simulation, designed turbine provides 2.71 MW power output with
89.56% hydraulic efficiency. At BEP, designed turbine provides 2.13 MW power output
with 90.95% efficiency. Cavitation phenomenon is identified at 15o degree of guide vane
configuration, therefore the turbine should be located closer to tail race.
