Abstract

The core concept of hydropower centers on capturing the energy produced as water moves from a higher elevation to a lower one. This involves utilizing the resulting water pressure to generate electrical energy. This practical application of hydropower generation theory entails the design and installation of a mini hydropower plant.

To assess its performance, a storage tank was strategically positioned at the maximum height to optimize water pressure, and a plastic pipe was employed for transportation. The construction of a turbine and generator, along with the subsequent assembly of their respective components, constitutes the formation of the hydropower plant. The hydro turbine converts water pressure into mechanical shaft power, propelling the electric generator. The outcome is an alternating electromotive force (e.m.f) of 210 Volts at a frequency of 50 Hz, suitable for powering various household electrical appliances.
