Hydro Power Operation:

The operation of hydel project is very simple, it only use the rushing water from a certain

height through m.s pipe and hits the blades of the runner (turbine) and convert the

mechanical energy into electrical energy with the help of alternator and is free of any

pollution and eco-friendly. However the output varies with water and head, and the design

for turbine selection varies respectively.

Figure below is the simple operation mechanism of small hydropower;
