Traditional hydropower depends on building large dams and costly infrastructure, which makes it expensive and time-consuming to set up. It also needs specific locations, such as rivers with strong flow or high elevation, so it can’t be used everywhere. In addition, these large projects can harm the environment, disturb natural water systems, and even displace communities. Because of these high costs, limited locations, and environmental impacts, there is a clear need for a simpler, cheaper, and more flexible hydropower solution that can be used in more places with less damage to nature.

The solution is an In-Pipe Hydropower Generation System that creates electricity by using the excess water pressure already present in existing pipelines. It features multiple nozzles and a smart bypass system to ensure smooth, uninterrupted water flow while generating power. The system is modular, easy to install, and designed to fit into existing city or industrial water networks without major changes. It works well under varied flow conditions and has been tested to produce up to 60kW of electricity. This technology offers a low-cost, eco-friendly way to reduce energy bills and make water and energy systems more sustainable, without the need for dams or large infrastructure.

The innovation of this project lies in its In-Pipe Hydropower Generation System, which turns excess water pressure in existing pipelines into usable electricity, without needing dams, turbines, or large infrastructure. What makes it unique is the use of multiple nozzles and a smart bypass system that keeps water flowing smoothly while generating power. The system is modular, compact, and easy to install in current urban or industrial water systems, making it highly flexible and location-friendly. It also performs well under different water flow conditions and can produce up to 60kW of electricity, helping lower energy costs and carbon emissions. This is a practical, scalable, and sustainable innovation for clean energy generation within existing water networks.
