ANALYSIS OF ELECTRICITY ENERGY POTENTIAL OF TABANG RIVER, SAWITTO VILLAGE, BUANGIN DISTRICT, ENREKANG REGENCY

The objective of the research was to determine the average of flow rapidity, flow rate of water, cross-sectional area of the river, as well as electricity energy potential of Tabang River, located in Nating, Sawitto Village, Buangin District, Enrekang. Sawitto Village, Buangin District has a mountainous topography and has many great potential energy sources for electricity generator. By considering the resources potential for electrical generator, it needs one study about flow potential of river water that can be used for electricity power and planning of electricity generator system to make the production of electricity energy maximum. Based on the result of data analysis, it found that electricity Energy potential of Tabang River flow was 2,07 MW. Then, the generator eficiency was 2029,805 KW or 2,02 MW, and the turbine eficiency was 93% and the turbine energy output was 1926,243 KW or 1,92 MW
