IoT-Based Implementation of River Water Flow and Water Quality Monitoring for Pico Hydro Power Plant

Abstract

Pico hydro could be an inexperienced energy that victimization little watercourse to come up with electricity while not wishing on any sources of non-renewable energy. This energy offers an inexperienced theme that's reliable, economical and cost-efficient. The problem that unremarkably emerged is the uncertainty of water debit. This could cause harm to the Pico hydropower station instrumentation which additionally results in arrival of the watercourse path. Water that is employed as a drink for folk’s today watercourse water affected thanks to the direct discharge of commercial effluents and domestic wastages into the watercourse. This contaminated water harms the setting affects the health of individuals and causes the destruction of the water system and water shortage state of affairs. To boot unhealthy water quality results in inefficient processes and will increase maintenance efforts in power stations. The planned system is intended to watch the water flow and pH scale level of water in the power station unit and to avoid the watercourse path by fixing sensors across the watercourse path through on Internet of Things (IoT). This project could boost the agricultural folk that live around the Pico power station.
