This paper describes a new and renewable energy source based on waste water for electric power generation and presents a new methodology for evaluation of the reliability of the hybrid- micro hydro power system using Gaussian distribution approach and flow duration curve (FDC). A new idea to reuse municipal waste water of the city offers a stable, inflation proof, economical, reliable and new & renewable energy source of electricity that uses proven and available technologies. Appropriately designed and implemented micro hydro electric power generation using municipal waste water and sewage system can provide inexpensive energy to all cities of the world for many years of the 21st century. Combined micro-hydro electric power and photo-voltaic system is a non-depleting, non-polluting and non-depending energy source that can provide reliable and economical power as a most promising new and renewable energy source of the 21st century. The hydro potential of waste water from community flowing through sewage system has been determined to produce a flow duration curve (FDC) by ordering the recorded water flows from maximum to minimum flow. The generating capacity of the system depends on the flow rate of the sewage treatment plant connected to existing sewage system of the city. The probability of difference in maximum and minimum flow between winter and summer is small and this will not affect the power output produced by municipal waste water of the sewage plant. Several factors as design pressure, the roughness of the pipe’s interior surface, method of joining, weight and ease of installation, accessibility to the sewage system, design life and maintenance, weather conditions, availability of material, related cost and likelihood of structural damage have been considered for a particular pen stock of the micro hydro power system. The selection criteria of the turbine has been explained according to design flow, head of the sewage plant and desired running speed of the generator. A hybrid system such as micro hydro electric power and photo voltaic system has been proposed to provide reliable electric energy to Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi (India).
