Modelling of micro hydropower system for small load application

The implementation of Movement Control Order (MCO) to curb the spread of covid-19 in Malaysia has resulted in an increased financial burden on the people especially those from the low-income group. Therefore, taking advantage of the promising renewable energy as the free source of electricity cou...
