The aim of this study is to design a steam turbine for a small scale steam power plant with target of producing electricity. The tur- bine is driven by the heat energy from palm kernel shells as a renewable en- ergy source obtained at a lower or no cost. The study was concentrated on design of turbine elements and its validation using computer packages. Spe- cifically, the microturbine design was limited to design, modeling, simulation and analysis of the rotor, blades and nozzle under the palm kernel shell as fuel for the micro power plant. In blade design, stress failures, efficiency and blade angle parameters were considered. In casing volume design, the overall heat transfer and mean temperature, and different concepts were applied. The thermal distribution on stator and rotor was considered in order to determine its level of tolerance. The design software packages used for design validation were Solidworks and Comsol Multiphysics for analysis. Simulation results showed that the designed steam turbine can adequately tolerate change in stress/load, torsion/compression, temperature and speeds.
