A Case Study and Model of Micro Hydro Power Plant Using the Kinetic
Energy of Flowing Water of Surma and Meghna Rivers of Bangladesh

Abstract:
Bangladesh is progressing through a stage of development where automation is the solution to its economy. At this stage for
the progression of this country electricity is very vital to sustain the economic growth. These days it becomes extremely
challenging to cope up with the required energy demand of the country. Continuous increase in price of fuel in the world
market and also the unavailability of fuel are the reasons behind this. On the other hand fuel burning in energy generation is
responsible for global climate change and Bangladesh residing in high risk of this. Renewable energy can be an immense
hope under this circumstance. The country is blessed with a good number of rivers consisting adequate flow of water
throughout the year. Harnessing this driving water of rivers can be a great source of kinetic energy and utilizing this kinetic
energy of driving water Hydro Electricity can be produced. The main purpose is to utilize the maximum velocity of flowing
water to rotate the turbine shaft. A system is introduced that does not need the Dam or Reservoir to produce Electrical Power
and is observed that, 12.48MW-hr & 14.804MW-hr worth of energy can be produced annually from Meghna & Surma rivers
respectively. This amount of power can be very useful for these rivers nearby inhabitants as they are still out of national grid
range. This paper has two parts. The first part illustrates the power crisis scenario of Bangladesh and why it is necessary to
seek alternate resources and the second part describes about one viable solution to solve this crisis to some extent.
