Abstract

The need of electrical energy for lighting is
extremely necessary for Indonesian society especially those who lives in the unreachable area by PLN power source. Electrical generator which uses renewable energy is the best solution to resolve the electrical crisis nowadays. One of the currently renewable energy is Pico Hydro Hydroelectric Power Generator. This electrical power generator is a kind of similar with general Hydroelectric Water Power Generator, but this one operates in small scale. The utility of this Pico Hydro Hydroelectric Power Generator, it can use water as a media with
minor current and smaller media width. We can find several
examples of this utilization such as in ditch and fish pond
irrigation. The water resource in Koka Village is very overflow that makes some villagers use it for fish pond irrigation, unfortunately the flowing water was wasted so brings idea for authors to design a Microcontroller based Pico Hydro Hydroelectric Power Generator as an alternative energy for fish pond lightning. This generator applies microcontroller-based technology as an alternative energy for fish pond lighting. The water resource being served as research site is very good and
quite wet although it was a dry season. This Microcontroller
based Pico Hydro Hydroelectric Power Generator consists of
Controller, Driver, Sensor and Peripheral. The supply energy
for this generator is 5 – 12 Volt DC. The controller part has 2 (two) interconnected components, i.e. sensor and peripheral. Sensor functions as an object detector that detects object and then send data to microcontroller to be processed while Peripheral roles as supporting component.

Keywords—electrical power generator, renewable energy,
microcontroller, DC, sensor.
