 Energy associated problems such as the oil
shortage, climate change, high electricity
FOR WHAT PURPOSE demand, and limits on whole-sale marketplaces.

Increased global temperature brought by

RATIONALE continuous combustion of non-renewable fuels

as a source of electricity.

Wide adoption of Different Renewable Energy

Sources for Power Generation

Microhydro Power Generator utilizes the flow of

water from a small continuous stream from
higher to lower location to generate rotational
mechanical energy on its water wheel which then
be converted to electricity by its generating
components.
Objectives of the Study
GENERAL OBJECTIVES:
To provide a reliable, clean, and alternative supply of electricity for rural
areas near perennial streams or riverside locations.

To design an integrated power system consist of a Micro-hydro power

generator and a solar water pump system

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:
New design of prime mover for the micro-hydropower generator's turbine
and inlet gates to increase its speed and power efficiency.

To integrate Solar Water Pumping system with Microhydro power

generator for aiding the flow rate and volume of water entering the intake
pipes

Additional power control and energy storage devices for accommodation of

DC and AC loads
 01 On-site Installation and Testing
The system installation and monitoring will
be done on the location of the recipient
community which will be nearby perennial

Scope and
streams or riverside location.

Loading Capacity Depends on the

Delimitations
Output Power Generated and
Efficiency
Loading Capacity of Micro-hydro power
generator set will be tested all throughout
the experimentation process.

03 Solar Water Pump System

Analysis of Parameters are no
longer covered in the study
The solar water pump is only an
additional feature for aiding the water in-
take of the Micro-hydro Generator.
