Abstract
This project's study focuses on the creation of a Graphical User Interface (GUI) platform for designing a mini hydro-power plant. The usage of non-fossil fuel and green energy has increased dramatically, with renewable energy's proportion of worldwide overall energy increasing from 2% to 7% in 10 years, owing to its dependability and sharp cost reduction. The mini hydro-power plant is a renewable energy plant that offers several benefits over wind and solar renewable energy plants of the same size. Hydro-power is completely pure, therefore it will never run out until the water supply is cut off, the power generation emits no pollution into the atmosphere, and it is the most dependable renewable energy source known. This project discusses the proper selection of mini hydro-power plant components such as turbine type, penstock size, and net head length, which are the major components of the power station. The results obtained for the design of the mini hydro-power plant for Pahang River, Temerloh with a flow rate of 38.53m3/sec are as follows. The penstock length, penstock diameter, penstock minimum wall thickness and net head are 10m, 2230mm, 6.854mm and 3.24m respectively. The PVC was chosen as the penstock pipe material and the suitable turbine was Kaplan which is a reaction type. The developed GUI was able to identify the specifications of all the components that were to be utilized to create a mini hydro-power system. The MATLAB software with App Designer environment was used to develop the GUI application for this purpose. The GUI application was able to generate the same result as the manually computed design specifications.
