Abstracts : This paper presents a case study of employing a
water wheel and a self excited induction generator
combination for a Pico hydro generation unit. Simple
procedure of designing a high speed water wheel is
presented. A prototype Pico hydro generation unit is
fabricated by authors. The unit was tested at actual
site of low head water flow. Laboratory test results, on
site test results and simulation results are presented.
A remarkable agreement is observed between the
laboratory and site tests. MATLAB simulation
corroborates the field and laboratory findings. A check
dam across a river in district Sangli of the state of
Maharashtra, India is chosen for the field trials. The
effective water head available round the year is 1
meter. Water discharge data has been obtained from
the Department of Irrigation, State of Maharashtra.
