Research Summary

Small hydropower refers to the generation of electricity from water flow using relatively small-scale hydroelectric power systems. These systems typically harness the energy of flowing water from rivers, streams, or small waterfalls to generate electricity. Small hydropower plants typically have a capacity of up to 10 megawatts and are often used to provide electricity for rural communities, remote areas, or off-grid locations where larger hydroelectric dams are not feasible. The basic components of small hydropower systems include a water intake structure, a penstock to direct water flow to the turbine, the turbine itself, and a generator to convert mechanical energy into electricity. Small hydropower is considered a renewable energy source and offers several benefits, including low greenhouse gas emissions, minimal environmental impact, and reliable power generation. It plays a significant role in sustainable energy development by providing clean and affordable electricity to communities worldwide.
