Currently, Indonesia has 75000 MW potency of hydropower. But, only 7573 MW were utilized. In 2017 the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources declared a utilization target of energy production for renewable energy to be 22.5% by 2025. Hydro energy is one of solutions for the problem of energy needs and Indonesian government target. In this paper, a basic design of Francis turbine for one mini hydropower plants in Indonesia is presented. The Francis turbine is designed for Malabar mini hydropower plant which has head of 100.8 m and flowrate of 1.5 m3/s with power-generated of 1.43 MW. In order to obtain the performance target, the calculations, models, and simulations were performed by Computation Fluid Dynamic software to determine the performance of the Francis turbine design. The results showed the obtained maximum hydraulic efficiency of 88.24% on flowrate of 1.52 m3/ s with power-generated of 1.43 MW.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Computation fluid dynamics,Design performance,Electrical energy demand,Energy productions,Hydraulic efficiency,Mini hydropower,Performance targets,Renewable energies[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Design performance.,Electrical energy demand,Francis turbine,Mini hydropower[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1109/ICPERE.2018.8739449[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
