Hydroelectric Power Plant

The Hydroelectric Power Plant project focuses on harnessing the potential energy of stored water and converting it into electrical energy using a turbine-generator system. This model demonstrates the working principle of hydroelectricity, emphasizing renewable energy generation, environmental benefits, and the efficiency of water as a sustainable energy resource. The setup includes a miniature dam, penstock, turbine, and generator to simulate the entire power generation process.

In this project, I was responsible for designing and fabricating the turbine setup, ensuring smooth water flow and optimal rotation for maximum power output. I also assisted in calculating the theoretical and practical efficiency of the system, comparing results, and suggesting improvements for energy conversion. This hands-on work helped me strengthen my understanding of fluid mechanics, energy systems, and sustainable power technologies.
