Run River Pico-Hydro System from Water Treatment Effluent Discharge

Hydropower is a type of renewable energy which is derived from the energy possesses within water available from natural sources. Pico-hydro power is a small scheme hydro power plant where the power generation is less than 5 kW. Sewage Treatment Plant in Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS has components w...
