The technical investigation and analysis of micro hydro plants to create a local rural grid is presented in this work. To this end, 10 MW micro hydro plants located in the kokan region of dodamarg district have been selected. Every crucial aspect needed to create the power flow analysis model has been suitably taken into account. ETAP is used to do a load flow assessment for both peak and off-peak hours under both contingency and non-contingency scenarios, employing a unique power system network model for each units. Simulation findings for both clusters demonstrate that the establishment of a local grid facilitates the use of excess power during off-peak hours, something that is not feasible when micro hydro plants operate independently.
