Side activity that utilizes peratan carpentry can not be fulfilled using electricity from existing plants.Therefore we need an increased effort on Micro Hydro Power (MHP) is still very limited relative power. So in this study, is expected to obtain an increase in power can be realized with both and can obtain results in line with expectations.
