Abstract

The goal of this research is to design, develop and analysis of a low cost and portable Pico hydro turbine. Hydro turbine has become an interest as it widely used around the world, especially in the rural area in Malaysia. The main reason why the hydro turbine is so widely used is due to their renewable source of producing electrical energy which is water. The focus on this project is to develop a portable Pico hydro that can be installed anywhere especially in the house. The project will involve two main phases: the designing of the turbine and the analysis of the turbine using different shape of pipe on the incoming water source. The designed turbine should be capable to meet performance specification for hydropower generation, such as an adequate minimum rate of flow and the type of turbine design used. The power supplied by falling water is the rate at which its deliver energy and this depends on the mass flow rate of the water, which can be manipulated by designing a different shape of pipe at the input water source. To meet the requirement, some issue needs to be considered in designing such as selection of the shape of the incoming pipe water source, design of turbine and size, design of the blade, and the type of the generator.
