Abstract: Indonesia’s abundant river water resources hold immense potential for kinetic energy as a viable source of renewable energy. Micro-Hydro Power Plants (MHPP) employing kinetic turbines represent a technological solution for converting energy from water flows. In this system, electrical energy is generated by converting the kinetic energy of water into mechanical energy through a turbine directly coupled to a generator. By implementing variations of 6, 8, and 10 blades, this study seeks to assess the operational performance of an acrylic-based kinetic turbine under different configurations. Field testing was conducted at an irrigation canal in Talawaan Village, North Minahasa, utilizing a true experimental research approach." The results demonstrate that the optimal performance of the acrylic-bladed kinetic turbine was achieved with 8 blades, yielding a torque of 0.1764 Nm, a power output of 1.465 W was achieved by the turbine during the testing phase, and an efficiency of 0.034. Based on the experimental data, varying quantities of turbine blades significantly impact the overall performance of the kinetic water turbine.
