Before you can begin designing your hydro system or estimating how much electricity it will produce, you´ll need to make four essential measurements
Head the vertical distance between the intake and turbine
Flow how much water comes down the stream
Pipeline length
Electrical transmission line length from turbine to home or battery bank
hydro-Electric System Components
Intake
Pipeline
Turbine
Controls
Dump Load
Battery Bank
Metering
Main DC Disconnect
Inverter
AC Breaker Panel
Kilowatt-Hour Meter ( so you know what your watts you used )
will post more as i do my research , new to this so starting from the ground
