    Feasibility of Micro-Hydro Power for Rural Electrification in Bangladesh: A Case Study from the Chittagong Hill Tracts

    Ratan Kumar Das1,*, Abhijit Date1, Harun Chowdhury1, Hamed Hassan2

    Energy Engineering, Vol.122, No.12, pp. 4815-4835, 2025, DOI:10.32604/ee.2025.071727 - 27 November 2025

    Abstract Bangladesh has achieved notable progress in expanding electricity access nationwide. Nonetheless, remote and topographically challenging regions such as the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) continue to face coverage gaps due to grid extension difficulties. This research investigates the technical feasibility of micro-hydro power (MHP) systems as viable off-grid solutions for rural electrification in CHT. Field surveys conducted across various sites assessed available head and flow rates using GPS-based elevation measurements and portable flow meters. Seasonal fluctuations were factored into the analysis to ensure year-round operational viability. The study involved estimating power output, selecting appropriate turbine types… More > Graphic Abstract

    An Improvement in Power Quality and By-Product of the Run-Off River Micro Hydro Power Plant

    Ignatius Riyadi Mardiyanto1, Jangkung Raharjo2,*, Sri Utami1, Wahyu Budi Mursanto1, Agoeng Hardjatmo Rahardjo1

    Energy Engineering, Vol.120, No.6, pp. 1295-1305, 2023, DOI:10.32604/ee.2023.027756 - 03 April 2023

    Abstract Utilization of Micro Hydro Power Plant at the Gunung Halu case study type run-off the river is a household use only in the afternoon, around 5 pm until bedtime at about 10 pm. Therefore, more than 75% of the energy is lost. This case study lost power which can be used as a by-product, such as for drying coffee beans. In this case study, a design was carried out to obtain by-products and improve power quality in the electrical system. In addition, they complain about the poor quality of power controlled by frequency using Triac-Based More > Graphic Abstract
