Electricity Generation from Micro Hydro Power Plant at MGM Gandheli Campus, Aurangabad

摘要

Water is the most important part of human day to day life and natural limited resource. Hydro energy is source of regenerative energy and also being clean as well as environment-friendly. This research paper intends to show the emerging concepts hydroelectricity generated from hydro power plant. Energy demand increases due to rapid urbanization and increase in population growth. And the time is not far away when we will not have sufficient amount of electricity to fulfill our daily need. To avoid the occurrence of such dark future, this prototype device can be implemented to generate electricity with Micro hydro power plant (MHP) at Gandheli Campus of MGM Institute as it being a rural belt situated atop the South-Eastern hills of Aurangabad. The purpose of the study is to design a micro hydro power plant for MGM Gandheli campus. Series of Micro Hydroelectric power turbines can be installed at Main Water Inlet Tank, Farm Ponds at four different locations. The micro hydro power has a huge potential globally and at this site it can be one of the best available solutions for electricity generation. So this will reduce the grid based demand of conventional energy currently utilized. Turbines are the crucial working apparatus required in micro hydro power plants. The theoretical calculations for this concept may serve better on practical implementation. The main motive behind this concept is to generate electricity from efficient non conventional means available on site.
