2. 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.

3. Micro hydro - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_hydro

   Micro hydro is a type of hydroelectric power that typically produces from 5 kW to 100 kW of electricity using the natural flow of water. Installations below 5 kW are called pico hydro . [ 1 ] These installations can provide power to an isolated home or small community, or are sometimes connected to electric power networks, particularly where ...

4. Gravitation water vortex power plant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitation_water_vortex...

   A schematic presentation of a gravitation water vortex power plant, showing the turbine in yellow. The gravitation water vortex power plant is a type of micro hydro vortex turbine system which converts energy in a moving fluid to rotational energy using a low hydraulic head of 0.7–3 metres (2 ft 4 in – 9 ft 10 in).

5. Microgeneration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microgeneration

   Microgeneration technologies include small-scale wind turbines, micro hydro, solar PV systems, microbial fuel cells, ground source heat pumps, and micro combined heat and power installations. [1] These technologies are often combined to form a hybrid power solution that can offer superior performance and lower cost than a system based on one ...

6. Water power engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_power_engine

   Dams are a product of the water-power engine and provide consistent energy to nearby populated areas. Murray 1 and 2 Hydro Electric Power Stations and the Tumut 3 Hydroelectric Power Station in Australia is responsible for generating between 550 megawatts and 1,800 megawatts of electricity. The water powered turbines used in these dams need ...

7. Low-head hydro power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-head_hydro_power

   Water wheel: Water wheels can be used at low heads (1–5 metres) and medium flows (0.3–1.5 m 3 /s) and are considered safe for aquatic life. Gravitation water vortex power plant: This type of hydro power plant use the power of a gravitation water vortex, which only exists at low head.
