Abstract

The problems faced by the community, especially PKM partner farmer groups, are: (1) the rice fields and reservoirs are not yet reached by the PLN electricity network; (2) the community does not have knowledge in the field of PLTPH design; and (3) lack of public knowledge about the operation and maintenance of PLTPH. The aim of this PKM activity is to provide solutions to these problems in the form of activities: (1) building PLTPH in rice fields by utilizing the energy of irrigation water in reservoirs; (2) design and manufacture PLTPH for lighting rice fields and reservoirs; and (3) provide training to the community regarding the operation and maintenance of PLTPH. The output of PKMini activities are: Scientific articles in the 6th SNP2M Proceedings in 2024, electronic mass media articles, activity videos, and a PLTPH system with specifications: 1 m diameter wheel, 25 cm wide, made of stainless plate steel 1.2 mm thick; The shaft is made of steel with a diameter of 2.54 cm; Pillow Blocks ; (4) V-Belt Transmission PU O ring 8 mm Green Rough; 500 Watt low Rpm permanent magnet rotor generator, AC output.
