Abstract Access to dependable energy is still a major problem in many rural and isolated areas of the world since expanding the national power system is expensive and logistically difficult. The design and construction of a micro-hydro power system that uses nearby water resources to supply off-grid villages with affordable, sustainable electricity is shown in this project. The method avoids large-scale dams and reservoirs by using run-of-river technology, which has a minimum impact on the environment. In order to guarantee maximum efficiency and little maintenance, the project combines a permanent magnet generator (PMG) with a specially designed Crossflow turbine that is tailored for low head and low flow applications. To ensure system stability, an Electronic Load Controller (ELC) has been created for load management and voltage regulation. To verify the system's functionality, a prototype was created, built, and tested. The results show a steady power output that is appropriate for community facilities, communication devices, and home illumination, with an efficiency of over 65%. This micro-hydro solution promotes social and economic development by providing a community-managed, environmentally responsible, and scalable alternative to rural electrification.
