    The available power, in kilowatts, from such a system can be calculated by the equation P=Q*H/k, where Q is the flow rate in gallons per minute, H is the static head, and k is a constant of 5,310 gal*ft/min*kW. [7] For instance, for a system with a flow of 500 gallons per minute and a static head of 60 feet, the theoretical maximum power output ...

  3. Pico hydro - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pico_hydro

    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 mostly used turbines are Pelton and Cross-flow types. Most of the MHP turbines are manufactured locally. The first turbine manufactured at the Balaju Yantra Shala Pvt. Ltd. (established 1960) was a 5 kW propeller turbine for the first MHP of Nepal in 1962. Kathmandu Metal Industries Pvt. Ltd., Nepal YantraShala Energy, Nepal Hydro & Electric Pvt. Ltd., Nepal Machine and Steel Structure, a

  6. Low-head hydro power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-head_hydro_power

    Low-head hydro power refers to the development of hydroelectric power where the head is typically less than 20 metres, although precise definitions vary. [1] Head is the vertical height measured between the hydro intake water level and the water level at the point of discharge.
