【 摘 要 】

Dummy load are used for microhydro power plant which its work controlled by electronic load controller. Electrical energy supply to dummy load will increased or decreased automatically depends on consumer load. All this time, dummy load energy of microhydro are rejected to the environment without any use. This research was carried out by investigating on Gunung Sawur 1 micro hydroelectric power plant in Sumberwuluh Village, Candipuro Districts, Lumajang Regency, East Java, Indonesia. Purposes of this research are to find out the potency of dummy load electric energy on Gunung Sawur 1 microhydro and possibility of its utilization. The research was carried out by recording data of electrical energy of dummy load on microhydro using Fluke 1735 power logger. Research results show that voltage of dummy load was fluctuated, from 0 volt until higher than 100 volts. In the night, the average of dummy load power is 2502.5 watts. Then during the day, the average of dummy load power is 3688.5 watts. The average total electric energy of dummy load is 66.1 kWh per day. Utilization unstable voltage and energy of dummy load can only be used for heating process, such as water heating or water purification on distillation system.
