As we know energy demand is increasing day by day, so it is a dire need of this era to get know about new and modified sources of renewable energy. Renewable energy can be obtained by water, wind and solar energy etc. But our main focus is on hydro energy especially through Gravitational vortex hydro-turbine works on the principle of a vortex, it converts centrifugal head of vortex into shaft power. GVHT can generate electricity from renewable sources of energy. In a Gravitational vortex power plant, water enters a circular basin in tangential direction & energy is extracted from the free vortex using a turbine. The main advantages of GHVT are that it can generate electricity from the very low hydraulic head, it is environment friendly & it is economically & socially viable. It is a new and not well-developed technology to generate electricity from low-pressure water energy sources. Gravitational Water Vortex Hydropower Plant (GWVHP) is a new addition in the family of ultra-low head hydropower systems and is one of the emerging technologies that have special attention of academicians globally. In GWVHP, an artificially formed vortex rotates a co-axially placed turbine coupled with a generator thus producing electricity. The methodology includes performance analysis of GVHT, finding out the optimum shape of the basin & channel. The methods include both simulations on ANSYS fluent & manufacturing of a considerable amount of energy for the prototype based on the result obtained from the simulations for experimental analysis & testing. It also aims to study the feasibility of GVFHT in a country like India
