Toshiba Engineering Corp. has developed a micro hydraulic power generation system Hydro-eKIDS that can generate power as long as a head of about 2m is available. The hydraulic power generation system utilizes natural energy and is gentle to the environment as with the wind and solar photovoltaic power generation systems. The micro hydraulic power generation system utilizing river water or agricultural water as its source of motive power can generate electricity around the clock as long as a water source is available, or features the outstanding advantage that no fuel charge is involved compared with die-sel power generation or gas engine/turbine power generation. It is also attracting. attention as a dispersed power generation system providing local electricity to small or remotely situated communities.
