simplest terms, water falls due to gravity, which contributes to the conversion of kinetic
energy into mechanical energy, which can be transformed into a useful form of electrical
energy. In the year 1882, Hydro - power refers to the technology involved in converting
the pressure energy and kinetic energy of water into more easily used electric energy. The
prime mover in the case of hydro-power is a water wheel or hydraulic turbine which

Hydroelectric Power
Hydropower is a source of renewable energy that generates electricity from liquid energy
flowing up and down. It is a proven, mature and cost-effective technology [1]. The most
important renewable sources include hydropower, biomass, geothermal, solar and wind.
In the last two decades, global electricity production has more than tripled and worldwide
demand has risen steadily with emerging economies rising economically. Hydropower
thus contributes greatly to the future world energy mix, especially in developing countries

can also use hydro-kinetic systems designed to take energy from tides and currents [13].
Gravity vortex plant is a device that utilizes vortex energy for electric power generation.
They call it Gravitational Water Vortax [14] is the main vortex with vertical axis of
rotation, the origin of the Rotational Symmetric and Stable vortex. A horizontal type of an
electrical hydro dam is the Gravitational Water Vortex Power Plant. The advantages of
using a vortex artificially induced above tidal water improve performance, decrease costs
and not just minimize adverse environmental consequences, but in turn increase the
stability and safety of the entire river. Vortex pool is a structure capable of forming a
gravity vortex flow. An alternative energy tool such a high speed liquid vortex flow can
be used [15].
Impulse Turbines
For the high head and low flow sites, [16] impulsive turbines are most efficient [17] for
situations where heads range from six feet to six hundred feet. The impulse turbine uses
the water speed to drive the runner and at atmospheric pressure, the water flows from the
floor of the turbine frame. This stream reaches the turbine as a jet, generating a kinetic
energy that produces power [18], in an open environment. In particular, these turbine
types are simple and cheap [19]. In many countries turgo, pelton and cross flow turbines
have become an acceptable alternative method for lower head micro sites [20].

In 1920 the turbine was invented in Gilbert Gilkes Ltd. Turgo is widely used as high and
mid head turbines [4], the Turgo can cope with significantly higher water flow levels and
operate efficiently in lower head ranges because it can generate power through more
water at lower heads [21-23]. The rotational speed can therefore be increased [21-23] by
increasing the diameter of the wheel for a given diameter of the plane.
The double cupped paddles attached to the wheel in the Pelton turbine, mounted on
circumference of a runner, trigger a spinning force [17] at high levels of efficiency from
70% to 90% [25]. Water pumps from a nozzle jet strike at the wheel. Any or more free
jets have a Pelton wheel. For high head, low flow applications, Pelton turbines are
suitable [17]. Also for small hydro power projects, Pelton turbines can recently be used. A
The Cross-flow turbine is a drum and a rectangular nozzle against curved vanes on a
Co, [26]. The transversal turbine allows the water to flow twice through the blades.
Water flows from the outside of the blades into the interior during the first pass; the
second pass is from the inside of the blades. Such turbine types can be used both
horizontally and vertically. We may know that the water flow and the head are higher than
Reaction Turbines
Both low head and high flow rate reaction turbines have better output. They do not have
nozzles, the blades projected by radius are positioned and mounted on the periphery of
the ladder so that the spaces between the blades are shaped like nozzles [16],[24] in a
cross section. The combined stress and moving water power produce the reaction turbine
[16]. The performance of the reactive turbines is higher than that of the impulse turbines
at slow operating speed [9]. In the case of lower head, but higher water, reaction turbines
The majority of reaction turbines are "propeller turbines," which show good performance,
flexibility and efficiency [27]. The Axial flow turbines are practical. A turbine has a
runner usually with three to six blades in which the water flows constantly strike. The
blade pitch would be adjustable or fixed [18], [24], [27]. A scroll frame, wicket ports and
a draft pipe [28] are the principal components besides the driver.
Four types of propeller turbines exist; the bulb turbine: the turbine is unit and the
generator is housed in air. Straflo: the generator is directly connected to the turbine
circumferential. Tube turbine: bending the penstock before or after the runner to connect
directly to the generator [18], [19]. In 1913, Kaplan engineered a variable pitch propeller
engine, which is the Kaplan turbine. The driver of this propeller turbine runner is
hydraulically similar except that the hub is different to a system for changing blades and
A Francis turbine is used most often in hydropower [30] and has an internal variable
guide valve, radial or mixed radial / axial flow runner, which is most often mounted in a
spiral frame. Water is pumped over and around the runner and then sinks, allowing it to
rotate. The other main components are, in addition to the driver, a scroll box, a buggy
In the pumping mode, the liquid reaches the pump's suction side and is energized by a
spinning rotor, leaving the housing at a high pressure. While the Pump as turbine (PAT)
rotates reverse, the liquid is pushed through the impeller blade and into the shaft at a very
high pressure in the pump as well as release pressure and kinetic energy from the pump's
The fluid speed is a calculation of the liquid size, which travels in a specified period of
time. The rate of flow depends on the area of the pipe or stream through which the fluid
travels and the liquid speed. Flow measurement methods other than positive flow meters
rely on forces generated by the moving fluid as a way of indirectly measuring flow by
overcoming a known constraint. Flow can be determined through the calculation of the
fluid velocity across a known area. Tracer techniques can be used for massive flows to
deduce the flow rate from a dye or radioisotope shift in concentration [45].

Hydro Pico is a term used to generate less than 5 kW of hydroelectric power. These

The heart of a generator armature consists of soft steel, a substance conducting with a
desired magnetic property. Once rotated in a magnetic field, every conductor will have
caused currents. These currents, which are caused by eddy currents in the generator

material in which the flow is influenced is eddy currents, as with any other currents. The
Discusses that energy lost as heat in the winding of the generator in an armature is known
as copper loss; as current flows into a conductor, heat is produced. Copper loss is a loss

to cross-section. Copper loss is minimized by the use of large wire in the strengthening of
Hysteresis loss as a heat loss resulting from magnetic armature properties. If the core of
the armature is in a magnetic field, it tends to align its magnetic particles. The magnetic
field changes direction when the armature core is rotating. Molecular friction is generated
by the constant movement of the magnetic particles, which try to align with the magnetic
field. In addition, this generates heat. The energy is passed to the winding of the tube.
The researchers have been notified that the electricity induction is also needed to

V. Expected Outputs and Deliverables (This refers to the products of the research which would
contribute and increase the stock of knowledge.)
This design's intended performance is to show that it can be used to use Turgo's hydropower to
generate sufficient energy in the pathway light The prototype includes Turgo turbine, battery
24v, modified sine wave inverter and pathway light circuit. The Turgo turbine collects the
falling water and the generator transforms mechanical energy from the turbine into electric
power and then regulates the generated power via a charge controller to charge the battery. The
energy is then transported via a DC output, which is then converted to AC for pathway light by
the inverter. The design will be using speed increasing transmission in order to increase the rpm
and efficiency of the generator, this was connected between the turbine and generator. The data
provided by the research can be used to provide pathway lights in dark areas such as the
research environment MSEUF pathway connecting Engineering Department and Office of
Student Affairs where there are lack of illumination.

This project aims to produce alternative source of energy using the water in banyuhay
lake. The researchers will be using a hydro-electric generator to produce energy for
lighting the pathway connecting OSA and CET 108. Technology is an effective way of
harvesting energy through the pressure energy and kinetic energy of water into more
easily used electric energy to make an effective lighting system installed in the pathway.
BENEFITS
The study will be beneficial to the students and university staff of the College of
Engineering and the Manuel S. Enverga University Foundation where the pathway area near
