Hydropower is a renewable energy, non-polluting and environmentally benign source of energy. Hydropower is based on simple concepts. Moving water turns a turbine, the turbine spins a generator, and electricity is produced. Hydropower will continue to play important role throughout the 21st Century, in world electricity supply. This paper consists of a brief description of principle of hydropower (energy formula, measurement of head, measurement of flow), components of a Pico hydropower system and planning a Pico hydro scheme for developing a hydropower project.
Keywords: pico hydropower; measurement of head; measurement of flow
