Self-powered miniature liquid treatment system with configurable hydropower generator

A hydro-power generation system comprising:

• a hydro-power generator configured to be rotated by a flow of liquid to generate electrical power for a given load;
• a processor configured to monitor the electrical power output by the hydro-power generator;
• and
• an energy storage device coupled with the processor, the processor configured to monitor a charge power level of the energy storage device, the processor further configured to selectively energize the given load from at least one of the hydro-power generator or the energy storage device to obtain a predetermined voltage with which to supply the given load based on the charge power level of the energy storage device and the electrical power generated by the hydro-power generator.

A hydro-power generation system comprising:

• an energy storage device configured to store and supply stored electrical power;
• a hydro-power generator configured to be rotated by a flow of liquid to generate electrical power;
• and
• a processor configured to energize a load with output power from at least one of the stored electrical power or the generated electrical power in response to a voltage of the output power reaching a determined threshold,
• wherein the processor is configured to initially energize the load with the stored electrical power provided as the output power in response to absence of sufficient generated electrical power, and subsequently energize the load with the generated electrical power provided as the output power in response to generation of electrical power by the hydro-power generator reaching a predetermined level.
