Micro hydro System Energy alternative

Micro hydro system

Micro hydro is built based on the fact that the presence of water that flows in an area with sufficient capacity and height. The term capacity refers to the total volume of water flow per unit time (flow capacity) while the height difference up to the installation of the flow area known as the head. Also known as white micro-hydro resources with free translations can be said to "white energy".

Said that because the installation of power plants like this using the resources provided by natural and environmentally friendly. A fact that nature has a waterfall or other type of water flowed into place. With the technology now, the energy flow of energy along with the height difference certain areas (where the installation will be built) can be converted into electrical energy. As noted above, micro-hydro is just a term. Micro means small while the hydro means water. In practice this term is not something that is raw but could be imagined that the micro-hydro, must use water as a source of energy. What distinguishes between the terms micro-hydro with mini hydro is output

power generated. Micro hydro power produces less than 100 W, while for minihidro power output ranged from 100 to 5000 W. Technically, micro-hydro has three main components: water (energy source), turbine and generator. Water that flows with a certain capacity and a certain height is channeled toward the house installation (turbine house). At home installation of water will strike the turbine where the turbine itself will certainly receive the water energy and convert it into mechanical energy turning a turbine shaft. A rotating shaft is then transmitted to the generator using the clutch. From the generator will produce electrical energy that will go into the control system of electric current before it flowed into homes or other purposes (expense). So in summary process flow of micro-hydro energy and altitude change water into electrical energy.
