Studied hydro-sites provided considerable production of renewable and stable energy. Small-scale hydropower is a potential solution to increasing electricity demand. Combination of site-area-power can be viewed as an optimization/management issue. Proposed hydropower system minimizes energy shortfall significantly. Spatial power distribution scenarios lead to a cost-effective energy generation.
