Abstract: Hydropower generated systems are one of the common sources to generate renewable energy. The improvement of a hydroelectric generating system that produce electricity from the potential energy of water flowing interior building’s water pipelines through changing the kinetic energy of water into electricity. This electrical energy can be stored in batteries for use as power supply for domestic purposes like LED lighting, for charging mobile phones etc., The renewable energy generation has been designed to use the water flow from an overhead tank during normal consumption of water for domestic use. Kinetic energy of the falling water is used to rotate a turbine coupled with a DC generator. The generated DC power is stored in a battery unit. When the energy saved within the battery is sufficient an inverter is switched ON to generate AC power for domestic use. During the normal time of working load receives power from the ordinary commercial line. Potential energy of the water stored inside the overhead tank is then utilized to complement some electricity used in the form of hydro-energy. The process of generating power is quite substantial.

Keywords: Hydropower generation, DC Generator, Hydro-electricity, overhead tank.
