Assessment of Run off River Hydropower Potential within River Kaduna

Kaduna state is in abundance of both water resources in form of river channels which have continuity of water flow throughout the year, if properly harnessed the power generated can meet the need for local demand and to reduce the problem of power failure faced by the state. In this research work, the hydropower of run of river within river Kaduna will be assessed, whereby mathematical model will be developed using MATLAB R2018a to know the size of turbine to be used. Simulation of the model for a long-term forecast of the river will also be done in the MATLAB environment, based on the power generated the turbine type and sizing will be determined.
