Abstract
This project portrait the usage of innovation in the dam engineering and hydropower plant. As to create a better to solution of current matter in the hydro-gate, the acknowledgement of automated hydro-gate system for mini hydropower are set to view.
Hydro-gate is basically the sluice gate that function as the exit and entrance to water channel in the penstock or water cannel. There are many types of hydro-gate that can be categorized accordingly to their function and design structure of the hydro-gate such sluice, intake inlet, riparian and also flushing.
Automated gate and manual gate may or may not find their much differences, however the way of conduct and function of device may bring severe improvement thus bring out different result from the conducted project. As manual may be the origin, the innovation of automated hyrod0gate device have brought the simplexes for the hydropower plant.
This research based thesis project helps in showing the function, the calculation needed to show torque and capacity, and also the exact definition of how all of this device and component related to one another.
In showcase of the observation and explanations, the software of AutoCAD were used for technical drawing of the device and Realflow2015 software were used for its simple demonstration of how the device work.
