Abstract

Hydropower, the power generated by the flow of flowing water. It is one of the most suitable as well as efficient sources of energy. Hydro-power is an efficient source of renewable energy and it has various potential application for future power generation needs cannot be underestimated. It is one of the most efficient, secure and reliable way generating power. The overall efficiency of the station (water to wire operation) is almost 90% efficiency. On the other hand, the startup cost of hydropower plants is high, but it has low operation and maintenance cost, thus it is more efficient in long terms. The main components of a hydropower plant are Reservoir, Turbine, Generator. Now a day’s Domestic or In-Pipe hydro systems. are also getting attention of researchers because of their low-cost installation, low maintenance and ease of access.
