Dissertation note: College Of Engineering.-- Bachelor of science in electrical engineering: Technological University of the Philippines, 2025. Summary: This study presents the development of a Savonius Pico-Hydro Turbine Generator equipped with Flexible Blade Technology. It is made to help bring electricity to far and off- grid areas, like Barangay Mapagong in Siniloan, Laguna. The turbine is placed just below the water’s surface and uses an Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Generator (AFPMG) to create power, even when the water flow is slow. This design is unique because of its flexible blades. They adapt to variations in the water flow, increasing the system's energy output and preventing damage to its moving components. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis was employed to optimize the turbine blade design, while theoretical and empirical calculations supported the design and sizing of both turbine and generator components. The device can reliably generate 12 to 24 V of DC electricity, with an estimated output of 500 to 650 watts, according to tests conducted in both natural and simulated environments. Additionally, the prototype could run a 300-watt charging station for up to 12 hours and power a 12 V streetlight (using 3 to 10 watts) for up to 10 hours. This research explores a small, low-cost, and eco-friendly pico-hydro system designed to meet the needs of communities with limited access to electricity. It shows how practical and helpful this type of system can be, especially in remote areas. The design takes into account the local water flow and the specific needs of the people, making it a suitable solution for bringing power to off-grid locations. Beyond simply generating electricity, the study shows that this kind of project can help rural communities grow and make daily living easier. It also stresses how important clean energy is in cutting down our use of fossil fuels and helping protect the environment. Ultimately, the research shows that even small renewable energy systems can have a big impact in supporting a cleaner and more sustainable future.

This study presents the development of a Savonius Pico-Hydro Turbine Generator

equipped with Flexible Blade Technology. It is made to help bring electricity to far and off-
grid areas, like Barangay Mapagong in Siniloan, Laguna. The turbine is placed just below

the water’s surface and uses an Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Generator (AFPMG) to create
power, even when the water flow is slow. This design is unique because of its flexible blades.
They adapt to variations in the water flow, increasing the system's energy output and
preventing damage to its moving components.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis was employed to optimize the
turbine blade design, while theoretical and empirical calculations supported the design and
sizing of both turbine and generator components. The device can reliably generate 12 to 24
V of DC electricity, with an estimated output of 500 to 650 watts, according to tests
conducted in both natural and simulated environments. Additionally, the prototype could run
a 300-watt charging station for up to 12 hours and power a 12 V streetlight (using 3 to 10
watts) for up to 10 hours.
This research explores a small, low-cost, and eco-friendly pico-hydro system
designed to meet the needs of communities with limited access to electricity. It shows how
practical and helpful this type of system can be, especially in remote areas. The design takes
