“…The generator is an essential component of the hydropower system that converts motion energy into electrical power. Some factors should be considered when selecting a generator, including nominal speed, power output, dimensions, and weight [7]. The alternating current generated by the generator can be rectified by a rectifier and used to charge the battery.…”

One of the problems faced by people in remote areas is the unavailability of infrastructure for power distribution. The available rivers can be used to generate electrical energy. The developed systems must be inexpensive, easy to operate and reliable. It should be equipped with a monitoring system to display the output. This study aims to develop a pico-hydro power plant and its monitoring system to meet the power needs in remote areas. The power plant consists of a small turbine, a generator, a battery charger, and a battery while the monitoring system consists of a current sensor, voltage sensor, Arduino Nano, and a display. The system was tested in the laboratory and the river. The test of the DC voltage sensor, AC voltage sensor, and DC current sensor produces errors of 1.88%, 5.24%, and 1.25% respectively. The no-load test shows that the system generates a voltage of 12.77 - 16.6 VDC and 224 - 245 VAC when rotated at 696 - 1363 RPM. When loaded, the system generates voltages of 12 - 12.8 VDC and 225 - 247 VAC when rotated at 1332 - 1564 RPM. The developed system can be used by people in remote areas to meet their power needs.

The prototype development of an automatic and floating structured hydro power plant constitutes a pioneering initiative aimed at addressing the critical issue of energy scarcity in remote areas. This research is centered on creation of an innovative and sustainable energy solution that capitalizes on diverse water flow conditions. It involves design and construction of a floating hydro power plant that seamlessly integrates a Pico hydro turbine, generator, and control system. The IoT technology is incorporated to enable real-time monitoring and visualization of essential electrical parameters through mobile app. In light of the escalating global demand for renewable energy solutions, this research holds immense significance. By extending access to electricity to off-grid communities, especially those residing in remote regions where conventional energy infrastructure is impractical, the proposed floating hydro power plant offers a reliable, eco-friendly power source. Its deployment in rivers and water bodies underscores its adaptability and potential to significantly alleviate energy deficits in under-served areas. As the world grapples with the pressing need for a transition toward sustainable energy sources, this project serves as a beacon of ingenuity and progress. By broadening the scope of the original research and exploring avenues for further enhancement, this endeavor underscores the commitment to a future where accessible, clean, and efficient power generation can transform the lives of communities plagued by energy scarcity. The outcomes and implications of this research endeavor not only contribute to the field of renewable energy but also provide a foundation for future innovations in sustainable power generation systems.

The study explores the performance characteristics of a Z-Blade reaction type water turbine and investigates a test unit for an ideal and practical case using the governing equations derived from the principles of conservation of mass, momentum, and energy. Various analyses are conducted with consideration of the ideal and possible operating condition for low-head (3 m to 5 m) and low-flow (2.5 L/sec and below) water resources. The relationship of the fluid flow friction known as k-factor with mass flow rate and angular velocity for a Z-Blade turbine model is discussed. The measured performance of two PVC pipe sizes (0.5 inch and 1 inch) of a Z-Blade turbine is presented and evaluated against theoretical results. This work also describes the simple concept of a Z-Blade turbine for a pico-hydro application. A large variation in k-factor with a 1% difference in rotational speed and mass flow rate is presented. The coefficient k-factor is also demonstrated as a strong parameter influencing the mass flow rate and rotational speed performance. This coefficient also has a significant impact on the conversion of potential energy into power output.
