 Title Summary

This paper has carried out a review on fatigue damage

mechanism of hydro turbines with particular emphasis on
the latest discoveries in various operating conditions and
A Review on Fatigue Damage developments in fatigue life prediction methods. All the
Mechanismin Hydro Turbines factors which affect the fatigue life of hydro turbines are
grouped into four categories: material, structure, loading,
and operating conditions.

This paper describes power topology of micro-hydro

generation, stand-alone topologies, fixed speed generation
(FSG), variable speed generation (VSG), direct-connected
An Overview of Power Topologies for grid integration topology, and PE grid integration
Micro-hydro Turbines topologies.
Multiple benefits in using of PE grid integration topologies
were discussed and evaluated.

Small scale hydro-power as a source of A comprehensive literature survey on hydro-power

renewable energy in Malaysia: A potential in Malaysia and its current status in low head
review location and rural electrification have been provided.
 In relation to rural development the simplicity and low
relative cost of micro hydro systems open up new
opportunities for some isolated communities in need of
Pico-Hydro-Plant for Small Scale Power electricity. With only a small stream needed, remote areas
Generation in Remote Villages can access lighting and communications for homes,
medical clinics, schools, and other facilities. Micro-hydro
can even run a certain level of machinery supporting small
businesses.

This article focused on FSV as a hydraulic phenomenon and

its applications in engineering fields especially for micro
hydropower sites; it indicated that FSV is a corner stone of
the gravitational water vortex power plant which is

On the other hand, this paper showed various
Vortex Power and Turbine types of micro hydropower turbines; it presented a general
Systems description of micro hydropower turbines systems and
there various components and performance. From the
above study, it can be provided a guideline to reach about
the suitable turbine system which can be used in the
different micro hydropower projects.
