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. Home energy storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Energy_Storage

   Usually, energy is stored in lithium-ion batteries, controlled by intelligent software to handle charging and discharging cycles. Companies are also developing smaller flow battery technology for home use. As a local energy storage technologies for home use, they are smaller relatives of battery-based grid energy storage and support the concept ...

4. Water turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_turbine

   The runner of the small water turbine. A water turbine is a rotary machine that converts kinetic energy and potential energy of water into mechanical work. Water turbines were developed in the 19th century and were widely used for industrial power prior to electrical grids. Now, they are mostly used for electric power generation.

5. Battery energy storage system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_energy_storage_system

   Battery energy storage systems are generally designed to be able to output at their full rated power for several hours. Battery storage can be used for short-term peak power [2] and ancillary services, such as providing operating reserve and frequency control to minimize the chance of power outages. They are often installed at, or close to ...

6. Water wall turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_Wall_Turbine

   Between 2004 and 2010, [1] Lodewyk Botha and Marek Sredzki developed an inflow turbine that captures water's potential energy in addition to its kinetic energy. Principal patents [2] [3] for the technology were registered and published between 2005 and 2011. The first full-scale water wall turbine project was completed in 2016 by Water Wall ...

7. Micro hydro - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_hydro

   Gravitation water vortex power plant : part of the river flow at a weir or natural water fall is diverted into a round basin with a central bottom exit that creates a vortex. A simple rotor (and connected generator) is moved by the kinetic energy. Efficiencies of 83% down to 64% at 1/3 part flow. [citation needed]
