a sustainable distributed energy source suitable for the natural environment. Small-scale hydroelectric power generation. ## What is mini hydroelectric power generation system? Mini hydroelectric power generation (Micro-hydroelectric power generation) developed by our company is. a small-scale hydroelectric power generation facility. There are many places where you can install water discharged from hydroelectric power plants, industrial water, agricultural water, etc., and you can create stable distributed energy, and there are merits such as easy procedures such as water right permission. Here is a video which is model of water turbine. Although mini hydroelectric power generation (Micro-hydroelectric power generation) has initial cost,. In general, hydroelectric power generation has an extremely excellent energy conversion efficiency of 60 to 80% compared to other power generation methods, and since it generates electricity stably for 24 hours, it can generate the most stable power generation among renewal energy resources.

Micro-hydro systems generally consist of the following components: • A trash rack, weir, and forebay to pre-vent debris from entering the pipeline and turbine • A pipeline (also called a penstock) to pipe water to the turbine • A powerhouse that contains the turbine and electronics • A water turbine that converts the kinetic energy of the fl owing water into mechanical energy that can be used directly or to drive a generator or other piece of equipment—this is the main component of a micro-hydro system • A tailrace to release the water back into the source it came from • Transmission lines to deliver electrical power where it is needed Th is publication is intended to include as much information as necessary to get you started in the process and to assist you generally at each step along the way of a micro-hydro project.

To build a micro-hydropower system, you need access to flowing water on your property. Other considerations for a potential micro-hydropower site include its power output, economics, permits, and water rights. To see if a micro-hydropower system would work for you, you will want to determine the amount of power that you can obtain from the flowing water on your site. Once you've determined the head and flow, then you can use a simple equation to estimate the power output for a system with 50% to 70% efficiency or more, which is representative of most micro-hydropower systems. ### Determining the “Head” at Your Potential Microhydropower Site. In a potential microhydropower site, head is the vertical distance that water falls. The hose-tube method for determining head involves taking stream-depth measurements across the width of the stream you intend to use for your system -- from the point at which you want to place the penstock to the point at which you want to place the turbine.
