Power Generation Using Micro Hydro Turbine.

Abstract

Flowing water creates energy that can be captured and turned into electricity. This is called hydroelectric power or hydro-power. Hydro-power is considered a renewable energy resource because it uses the earth's water cycle to generate electricity. Water evaporates from the earth's surface, forms clouds, precipitates back to earth, and flows toward the ocean. As far as Bangladesh is concerned, only a small fraction of electricity is generated by hydro-power. The government has set a target of meeting five per cent of the electricity demand by 2015 by utilizing renewable energy, and 10 per cent by the year 2020. Currently, renewable energies contribute to less than one per cent of the country's total electricity generation .The aim of our thesis is was to demonstrate and observe the demo hydro-power in micro-scale by our experimental setup which is completely new in concept .This thesis paper consists results of our findings and might help in case of utilizing this renewable energy potential
