“…High head (>100 m): Pelton Wheel and Turgo Hofken [12] recommended the development of rural tenants' social and commercial life cycle in Pakistan by launching micro/mini hydro plants in far off countryside regions where latent potential is accessible and utilized the phrase "small is beautiful" for micro/mini hydropower. Vyaas et al [13] performed a viability study for applying micro/mini hydropower in drylands of different states of India and determined it unsurpassed for self-adequacy in energy. Zeema et al [14] assessed the technical and economical practicality of micro hydro power in the agrarian fields and discovered it lucrative in the Italian power marketplace.…”

The electricity price escalation Â in Pakistan is increasing with an exponential rate because of the dominance of the foreign imported conventional source of energy. The consumer must pay an extra tax as the fuel adjustment in every month's electricity bill. Being the renewable energy source abundant country, Pakistan needs to exploit these energy sources for electricity production. This paper presents a micro-hydro energy system at the Jalala Disty canal in KPK Pakistan. A cite specific scheming of the planned microhydro project is introduced. RETScreen based modeling and optimization of the project are discussed. Net Present Value (NPV) and the Cost of Energy (COE) of the intended microhydro system is calculated. RETScreen optimization assessment confirmed the viability of the planned micro-hydro energy system built on the COE and the NPV. The arrangement is anticipated to retrieve all the expenses incurred in the 4th year of the total period of the planned project. Comparing with the baseline energy mix of the country, the proposed energy project is 100 % greenhouse gases (GHG) emission free project.

“…Vyas et al (2015) conveyed the message that nation can be made self sufficiency if it promote the use of renewable energy sources. Tiago et al(2017) Mentioned that the production of power using falling water is old and has experienced a growth in demand since modern time.Redpath & Ward (2017) worked on investigation of electricity production potential of low head hydro power in Northern Ireland.…”

Paper With the correlation, relationship between different variables can be found out. The objective of research is to develop correlation between cost of canal based small hydro power scheme and rated power. For correlation development, four canal fall locations of Sakarda and four canal fall locations of Ranoli branch canal have been considered. Correlation has been developed using regression analysis, and the developed model is validated with T-test method. After designing of hydro power components, cost of small hydro power (variable) has been estimated using current market rates. Small hydro power components are designed as per Indian Standard guidelines. As a result coefficient of determination found is 0.856, which shows that there is a positive significant relation between both the variables (cost of canal based small hydro power scheme and rated power). Developed correlation is validated using T-test. T-test was carried out for confidence level of 95 % and 99 %. From the results of T-test, finally it is concluded that regression is significant and developed correlation can be use to find out cost of canal base hydro power scheme.
