INTRODUCTION OF PROJECT

MINI HYDROELECTRIC GENERATOR

ABSTRACT

Nowadays, most people are using electricity power in their daily activity either at house or office. In this rate, the problem about electricity power supply also increases dramatically. The problem about pollution, power failure, high maintenance and lost power consistency is one of the problem that always faced by customer. So, it is suitable with the general purpose of this hydroelectric generator, which is aim to act as a backup power supply. In other meaning, to give a continuity of electric supply, and to provide a clean supply without been interrupted, not even for instant to support electrical equipment or loads. This systems need to be able to supply power continuously, not only in the case of power failure but also during troubleshooting and maintenance of the system.

The Hydroelectric Generator is powered by water flowing from water host. It is one of the best methods to ensure this backup power supply system will be able to support the critical loads for a specific time during power disturbances because of utility system. Consumers will use this product to provide energy for their electric equipment in case of power failure. The main focus of the study is on the backup power supply performance during varies emergencies situation and new development in distribution generator: system operation, reduction cost and flexibility of the system will be proposed and applied to the study to make a good backup power supply system.

This research study will reviews the various types and configuration of backup power supply system especially about hydroelectric generator. It will then be used as case studies to test and validate the proposed operation, estimation cost and performance at practical environment. This project will be exciting because it will allow us to design and build a small hydro-generation system.  This system will give insight into the complex task of finding a reliable energy source for future use. The research study will conclude with recommendation and to improve a backup power supply system on its performance and capability with respect to load critically, cost and applications.
