In the design of cross flow turbines, efficiency is a significant parameter. The crossflow turbine for developing nations is the most cost-efficient electricity generation source and often used in isolated power systems. This research work analyzes the potential of electricity production using a micro-cross flow turbine from sewage lines. To measure the hydraulic potential of the sewage’s wastewater, flow rate at the connection point was investigated by experimentation on site and the efficiency of the micro cross flow turbine was evaluated. The experimental results show that the hydraulic potential of the selected point for electricity production is enough throughout the year. It also shows that the micro-cross flow turbine can be used effectively to produce electricity from the sewage at the link points. The highest efficient 2 mm head was observed with a maximum flow rate of 0.112 m3/s. Depending on the flow rate, the turbine velocity was 103-263 rpm. The maximum power of shaft was 284.58 W and the highest power generated was 196.24 W. The maximum overall efficiency was 68.2%. This article discusses the design, efficiency, operation and cost of low-head micro crossflow turbines. Keywords: Electricity Generation, Hydraulic Potential, Micro Cross Flow Turbine, Sewage
