The Pico hydro is hydro power with a maximum electricaloutput of five kilowatts (5kW). Hydro power systems ofthis size benefit in terms of cost and simplicity from differentapproaches in the design, planning and installation than thosewhich are applied to larger hydro power. Recent innovationsin pico-hydro technology have made it an economic source ofpower even in some of the world’s poorest and mostinaccessible places. It is also a versatile power source. ACelectricity can be produced enabling standard electricalappliances to be used. Common examples of devices whichcan be powered by pico-hydro are light bulbs, radio andtelevision.
