“…(6) Effect of deflector plates on both the blades of Savonius hydrokinetic turbine (horizontal orientation) after optimal installation of turbine still needs significant research. (7) The interaction between rotors using side by side or triangular arrangement is yet to be studied for the turbine in the water channels. Although line by line arrangement has been done in past to find out the interaction between two turbines.…”

“…The sources of energy are broadly categorized as conventional (fossil fuels) and non-conventional [1,2]. Fossil fuels are not only limited and inadequately distributed on the earth's crust but are also associated with serious environmental problems [3][4][5][6][7]. The growth of energy demand and depletion of oil reserve and environmental problems related to fossil fuels as well as rising oil fuel prices are the major issues encouraging the use of renewable energy technologies.…”

“…Borhanazad et al developed a suitable wind turbine for low wind speed to increase the wind energy potential of the region, to improve wind-energy power generation in remote areas, and to reduce production cost (Borhanazad et al 2013). Mini-and micro hydro energy systems are also suitable for rural electrification in which most of the turbines require a static head of 10 m or more (Anyi et al 2010). The rural areas in Malaysia are suited for smallscale biomass gasification generators ranging from 2 to 5 kW (Alauddin, 99).…”

Malaysia is rich in renewable energy (RE) resources. Hybrid systems of these resources can contribute strongly to the electrification and sustainable development of rural areas that do not have access to electricity grids. The integration of the generation of hybrid renewable power in remote and rural areas supplies the required power demand and mitigates emissions. Thus, this study reviews the latest literature (theses, journals articles, and conference proceedings) on the need for electricity in remote rural communities, on hybrid RE systems, on environmental impact, and on economic regulation in Malaysia. Power in this country is mainly generated by fossil fuels that emit high concentrations of greenhouse gases. Thus, RE is a potential alternative for to electrify rural areas, to meet current and future energy demands, and to mitigate emissions. Moreover, Malaysia has pledged to reduce its carbon-emission intensity by a maximum of 40 % (2005 level) by the year 2020. Therefore, the implementation of RE technologies in this country is significantly aided by RE projects, research and development activities, technologies, energy policies, and future direction. This review concludes that solar, wind, hydro, and biomass energy, as well as a hybrid of these, can effectively electrify rural areas.

“…There exist an argument state that; in order to an adequate force for effective power production, it is better to use more head is than more flow. Compared to high head micro hydro, the low head water wheel requires more water to run [2]. Yet, nowadays, there is a research in finding in low flow that proved the system designed capable to produce electricity with high efficiency [1,2,6,13].…”

Pico hydro is a green energy that consumes a small streams to generate electricity without depends on any sources of non-renewable energy. This green scheme offer a cheap, efficient, reliable and cost effective of alternative energy and hence, there is no need to worries about the fuel source, capital cost, pollution and life expectancy. Even though the power generated is less than 5kW, but the benefit gain from this energy is the ability to raise the standard living of residents in remote areas. This type of green technology is still classified as a new in Malaysia and due to that, it is recommended to see the status of implementation. Besides that, this paper discuss about the basic theory and concept of pico hydropower in order to have a better appreciation on this type of generation system.
