Abstract
One of the biggest challenges facing the world today is to provide access to sustainable, safe and affordable electricity supply. Small-hydro or micro-hydropower is considered as one of the most cost-effective, reliable and clean sources of renewable energy. Egypt has a long river which is a very good energy source. Many small and micro-hydropower plants can be installed in run-of-river schemes or implemented in existing river infrastructure. Egypt has to make use of its hydro power resources, not only to meet increasing demand, but also for reducing fossil fuels causing environmental pollution. This paper investigates the small hydro energy potentiality at different locations in Delta-Egypt. The head and water flow rates for the past five years are used to find out the hydro energy potential. The annual energy of three different mini-hydro turbines are calculated for eight selected regions in Delta Egypt. The analysis includes a comparison between energy outputs from the three types of hydro turbines
