Abstract
Micro hydropower system is one of the most environmental friendly energy conversion methods. Unlike large scale hydropower plant, it will not bring big impact to the environment [3]. Micro hydro power plant (MHPP) can continuously supply electrical power and can help to supply much needed electricity to small communities and villages which transmission line is expensive to reach there. Loads that connected to generator need uniform, stable and uninterrupted supply energy. However, characteristic of micro hydro power plant change with the consumption. So, the output supply voltage MHPP need to be controlled in order to maintain the output supply voltage at the rated voltage [3]. This project is to study micro hydro power plant and finally design & develop a small scale prototype of micro hydro system with automatic valve control.The fundamentals and parameters of the micro hydropower plant are being studied in this project. The micro hydropower plant consists of penstock, pipeline, turbine and generator. Electric motor is used to act as governor in order to regulate the flow rate to maintain the output supply of the generator at the rated voltage. One prototype with the automatic valve is built and testing is carried out. The maximum efficiency of this prototype is 6.6% and the automatic valve take 10 to 18 seconds to regulate the flow rate of the water.
