Abstract

Traditional energy sources are often unreliable in many areas. Small-scale, off-grid power solutions are required to provide electricity for basic needs. This project addresses this need by demonstrating the conversion of hydraulic energy into electrical energy using a locally constructed Pelton turbine. The challenge lies in designing and fabricating a cost-effective, efficient, and reliable system to produce a target power output of 100 watts.
