Abstract

Nowadays, the hydro power generation is getting popular among the rural residential or any residential place that are near to the water resources. It is one of the causes that may lead to many kind of innovation to the hydropower system. The objective of this project is to develop a simple geometrical design of a pico hydro that would be portable and friendly user. Besides that, the project is use to investigate the ability of the different type of generator by implementing different measurement of water flow rate and level of head. There are some method has been use to develop the pico hydro such as using different type of motor to obtain the optimum output of the pico hydro. Other than that, the prototype are tested with level of head of five meter and flow rate of the water which about 2 Liter/s. Next, the prototype also tested using 3 type base design which to improve the stability of the prototype during the operation. After a few test, the experimental result shows that the motor could generate optimum power up to lOOW of potential energy by only using five meter of water head and 2 Liter/s of water flow rate. As for the result, the prototype are able to generate about 153 watts and 1.9 ampere of current. It lead to the 80 percent of efficiency percentage. As a conclusion, the prototype achieve the optimum output power and can be commercialize to solve the rural residential electrical power source.
