Micro-hydro, defined as a plant between 10kW and 200kW, is perhaps the most mature of the modern small-scale decentralised energy supply technologies used in developing countries. Micro hydro power plant is energy from water sources such as the ocean, rivers and waterfalls. “Micro-hydro” means which can apply to sites ranging from a tiny scheme to

A method of maintaining the speed of the turbine is constant irrespective of variation of the load on the turbine known as governing of turbine. The governors regulate the rate of flow to the turbine in such a way that the speed of the turbine is maintained constant as far as possible under varying load

Rotational speed of the turbine Specific speed Maximum efficiency Part load efficiency Head Type of water Runaway speed Cavitation Number of turbine units Overall cost. Rotational speed of the turbine Turbines are used to produce mechanical energy which is again converted into electrical energy by coupling the generator through the shaft. Here, the speed of
