Design of micro-hydropower system for a stand alone rural village electrification

Micro-hydropower system is a system that used to produce electricity. Its main concept is transfer the kinetic energy of water flowing to electric energy by a generator. When water flows from a head, the water flowing contains kinetic and potential energy. Thus, when water flows knocked the turbi...
