1 | Micro Hydropower System Design Guidelines 1. Introduction This guideline provides the minimum knowledge on design of micro hydro systems in regional countries. A hydro system is usually classified by size (generating capacity) and the type of scheme (run-of-river, storage, etc).
Before commencing the installation process, you should have selected the appropriate components and consulted your local regulations concerning use of water and undertaking electrical work. The main components of a typical micro hydropower system as depicted in Figure 1 are:
Micro-hydro systems generally consist of the following components: A trash rack, weir, and forebay to prevent debris from entering the pipeline and turbine. A pipeline (also called a penstock) to pipe water to the turbine. A powerhouse that contains the turbine and electronics.
Modern micro-hydro power (MHP) plants use Turbines instead of water wheels and mostly power a generator to produce electricity. But in cases where machinery can be used and installed near the turbine direct driven systems have some advantages .

To see if a micro-hydropower system would work for you, determine the vertical distance (head) available and flow (quantity) of the water. To build a micro-hydropower system , you need access to flowing water on your property.
Alternate Hydro Energy Centre, Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee initiated an exercise of developing series of standards/guidelines/manuals specifically for small scale hydropower projects with the sponsorship of Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India in 2006.
