| description | The implementation of Movement Control Order (MCO) to curb the spread of covid-19 in Malaysia has
resulted in an increased financial burden on the people especially those from the low-income group. Therefore, taking
advantage of the promising renewable energy as the free source of electricity could subsequently reduce the financial
burden borne by this group. Hence, this paper conducts an analysis using MATLAB/Simulink software, to assess the
viability of small-scale hydro turbines in converting potential energy of water heads into electricity for powering
small load appliances. The analysis consists of several parts such as the DC generator, converter and charge
controller. The data regarding volume of water usage in this study is based on water usage by the author. The result
from simulation through the MATLAB software demonstrate a convincing reading in recorded voltage, current and
power which indicate this system is feasible for electrification of small load appliances and indicate the potential for
future improvement and research. |
