Micro Hydro Power (MHP) Troubleshooting Poster for Operators in Indonesia
Overview
One critical component of ensuring micro hydro power (MHP) scheme sustainability is to minimize disturbance in the system operation. In community managed MHP system in rural area, local operator had responsibility to maintain the system. In GIZ/EnDev II program in Indonesia, local operator had been trained by MHP-TSU in order to understand basic knowledge of MHP working principle.
During training, operator had been equipped with log book to record technical events and manual book. Due to cultural habit and technical experience factor, manual book is not user friendly enough to be used in times of trouble. GIZ/EnDev II had designed a MHP Troubleshooting Poster to disseminate troubleshooting knowledge in easily accessible way. Another advantage of poster format is that by displaying the poster in powerhouse, operator will be more likely to read the troubleshooting poster in case of damage.

On September 2012, several MHP troubleshooting posters had been distributed. According to an operator testimony, instead of reading it in a book format, it is more easier to read it in poster format.
