The research about picohydro power plant system has been developed in recent years. However, there is a problem in output power when using too small water debit on it. Output power can improved with a generator module and joule thief module. The generator module uses a turbine that the diameter is 4 cm to drive a permanent magnet generator while the joule thief module consists of a charger controller to control charging process of battery, 3200 mAh lithium-ion battery for storing electric power generated by the generator and a joule thief circuit to increase the electrical power that stored in the battery. This device has been tested by using 7 variations of water debit that is 0.06 liters/second, 0.066 liters/second, 0.071 liters/second, 0.077 liters/second, 0.093 liters/second, 0.138 liters/second, and 0.14 liters/second. The results showed that the increasement of power generated when water debit are increased. The maximum power generated in this power generation system is 7.75 W and its able to supply power for LED lights 220 V 3 W for 165 minutes.
