Mini & Micro Hydro Power Generation
Mini & Macro hydro power generation refer to the generation of electricity by using the energy of flowing water on a smaller scale than traditional hydroelectric plants. A mini-hydroelectric power plant converts the energy stored in water into electricity by exploiting the difference in elevation between two points at different heights. Mechanical energy is obtained from a hydraulic turbine which, with the help of a generator, is transformed into electrical energy and supply energy to rural areas, areas isolated from the electricity grid or any other facility with access to a stream of water.
We plan to introduce mini/micro hydro turbines to combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plant in order to effectively utilized cooling water discharged from thermal power plants.
Macro hydro power generation is a sustainable and reliable form of renewable energy, suitable for various applications depending on local conditions and energy needs. Its scalability and relatively low environmental impact make it an attractive option for decentralized electricity generation in areas with suitable water resources.
