A pico hydro system made by the Sustainable Vision project from Baylor University [1]. Pico hydro is a term used for hydroelectric power generation of under 5 kW. These generators have proven to be useful in small, remote communities that require only a small amount of electricity – for example, to power one or two fluorescent light bulbs and a TV or radio in 50 or so homes.

The project will comprise the Main Power Station and the Regulating Dam Power Station. Mpatamanga Hydro Power Limited (MHPL), a Special Purpose Vehicle, has been established for purposes of the Project which will sell 100 percent of its production to Malawi's national utility, ESCOM, as off-taker under a 30-year power purchase agreement (“PPA ...
In India, hydro projects up to 25 MW station capacities have been categorized as Small Hydro Power (SHP) projects. [6] Small hydro can be further subdivided into mini hydro, usually defined as 100 to 1,000 kilowatts (kW), and micro hydro which is 5 to 100 kW. Micro hydro is usually the application of hydroelectric power sized for smaller ...
The Bui Dam is a 400-megawatt (540,000 hp) hydroelectric project in Ghana. It is built on the Black Volta river at the Bui Gorge, at the southern end of Bui National Park. The project was a collaboration between the government of Ghana and Sino Hydro, a Chinese state-owned construction company. Construction on the main dam began in December 2009.
Pharping Hydro Power Project (Nepali: फर्पिङ लघु जलविद्युत् परियोजना) is the first hydro-power project of Nepal and second of South Asia. It is situated in Kathmandu district. [1] In 2010, it was declared a Living Museum by government of Nepal and was open for public. [2]
The power station is one of several mini-hydroelectric power stations planned on the Achwa River in the Northern Region of Uganda. Achwa 3 is a run-of-the-river hydroelectricity project with an average flow of 65.5 cubic metres (2,310 cu ft) per second and a gross hydraulic head of about 12.5 metres (41 ft). [3]
Hydropower (from Ancient Greek ὑδρο-, "water"), also known as water power or water energy, is the use of falling or fast-running water to produce electricity or to power machines. This is achieved by converting the gravitational potential or kinetic energy of a water source to produce power. [1] Hydropower is a method of sustainable energy ...
Kopili Hydro Electric Project is a 275 megawatts (369,000 hp), hydroelectric power project on the Kopili river and its tributary, Umrong stream. It is located in Dima Hasao district of Assam state in India. [1] The project is developed and operated by North Eastern Electric Power Corporation Limited.
