PRV257: DEVELOPMENT OF A MICRO HYDRO GENERATION SYSTEM FOR HARNESSING ELECTRIC ENERGY FROM WATER PIPELINES

Ts. NORHANISA BINTI KIMPOL UNIVERSITI MALAYSIA PERLIS

This project presents the development of a micro-hydro Result generation system designed to harness electrical energy from household water pipelines using IoT technology. By fitting turbines within PVC pipes, this system captures the kinetic energy of water flow, converting it into sustainable electrical power to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. The prototype includes an ESP32 microcontroller and current and voltage sensors for real- time data monitoring, accessible through a mobile application. Simulation and fieldtests demonstrated the system’s potential in diverse environments, from urban to rural areas, showcasing cost savings and environmental benefits. The system achieved consistent energy output, validating its potential as a renewable source for small-scale power generation, with implications for both residential and commercial use. This projectshows the feasibility of integrating renewable micro-hydro systems into existing water infrastructure to promote green energy adoption and reduce the carbon footprint.
