Abstract

Micro-hybrid generator is a stand-alone power system (SPS). It is a green technology that produces electricity from the combination of solar and hydro system. This paper focuses on the basic design and concept of micro-hydro generator as it is a backup supply for the solar system. The principle of solar system will not be discussed in detail in this research. The purpose of this paper is to design a micro-hydro generator with power output from 5 kW to 100 kW. Analysis is carried out using the fundamental theory for micro-hydro system. This research is divided into several parts. The first part is searching the potential site for micro-hybrid generator installation in Malaysia. Second part is applying the fundamental theory for micro-hydro generator system. In this part, the suitable design for micro-hydro system was analysed. The overhead tank, turbine to be used and pump power was calculated during the analysis. This type of green technology is still classified as a new technology in Malaysia. So, it is recommended to see the status of implementation in Malaysia. This research will help to reduce our dependence on using the non-renewable sources for generation of electricity. It also raises standard living of residents in remote areas because this system is suitable to be develop at the off grid area.
