Experimental analysis demonstrates high efficiency of 72.5% for a pico hydro propeller turbine in remote Indonesian locations.

The pico hydro propeller turbine achieved a maximum efficiency of 72.5% using a type 3 runner model.
This experimental study utilized a generator with a power output of 250 W at a very low head of 1.53 m.
The prototype was designed for accessibility in remote areas, using lightweight materials like PVC.
Tests were conducted under varying flow rates and electrical loads to analyze the turbine's performance.

Subekti et al. (2025) studied this question.
