| Summary: | Renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly important as the world seeks sustainable alternatives to conventional energy generation. One of the source is hydropower, which harness the power from flowing water to generate electricity. In many cases, small scale hydropower projects are more feasible and cost-effective than large-scale installations. This project intends to design and build a micro hydro turbine system that utilize vertical wind turbine blades. The hydro turbines are not commonly used in Malaysia as a source of electrical generation. Therefore, a small-scale hydro turbine can be used to power communication devices or electrical devices. Hence, the aim of this project is to design a small hydro turbine power generator using vertical wind turbine blades that can be used anytime and everywhere even in a remote area. This will be achieved by the manufacturing process such as machining process, sheet metal and joining process and other method that will be explored through this experiment. The expected result to supply electricity and ease the user to do their daily routine using renewable energy was obtained which is max power is 2 kW. |
