Abstract :
This paper proposes a test facility for micro hydraulic generation system. Micro hydraulic generation system is very difficult to exam their characteristics including hydraulic turbine because water flow in various conditions is necessary but it is very difficult to realize in laboratory. In this paper water flow is realized using general purpose pump that can add pressure to water flow to simulate water drop. From obtained experimental results, a simulation model of hydro turbine was built in order to establish high efficiency control system.
