Hydropower generated systems are one of the common source to generate energy. The renewable energy generationsystem is designed to use the water flow from an overhead tank during normal consumption of water for domestic use. Thesystem produces electricity from the potential energy of water flow through water pipelines by changing the kinetic energy ofwater into electricity. The electrical energy is stored in batteries for domestic purposes like lighting and other electricalapplications. The system has two turbines coupled with generator, placed at the inlet and outlet pipe of the water tank. The statusof water level is detected with the help of float sensor. The motor performs automatically according to the level of water. Thegenerated power is informed to the user and then stored in a battery storage unit. When the energy saved within the battery issufficient an inverter is switched ON for domestic use. During the normal time of working load receives power from the ordinarycommercial line. The system is simulated with Proteus software and analysed.
