Abstract: The objective of Hydroharmony is to propose a hydraulic turbine system that generates clean and renewable energy for the Liceo Taller San Miguel school. This project aims to explore the potential of hydropower generation, investigate considerations on how to build a hydraulic turbine model, and promote sustainable energy practices among students. This qualitative and quantitative science and technology research consists of finding the best possible congruence area and, in the same way, consulting what type of turbine works best for the given location. Therefore, creating a concrete proposal reproduces the chosen area's characteristics.

Methodology The problem lies in the school's energy consumption. This project aims to contribute to the definition and future management of energy consumption. The project will attempt to propose a solution for the school's energy requirements through this approach. As Mehmood et al. (2019) state in their study, “These mini-hydro power plants, if successful, will be able to provide consumers with electricity at a much lower price than the National Transmission & Despatch Company (NTDC) of Pakistan” (Introduction section, para. 7). The goal is to achieve the same results as the study, contributing to the school regarding energy production.
Results After several reviews and studies, the stream in the northern area of the LTSM fulfilled the Hydroharmony zone expectations. This stream has the necessary accessibility conditions since it is an accessible area where researchers can efficiently execute the project. Out of the three possible sites viewed for the project, the chosen site had better topography features for taking measurements and adapting the prototype.
Conclusions This research was a comprehensive endeavor to implement a hydraulic system in LTSM to significantly reduce the institution’s energy consumption. The approach was based on a meticulous quantitative analysis from theoretical researchers and a thorough variable observation study. Creating the prototype required rigorous mapping identification and a deep understanding of the theoretical aspects to execute this project effectively. The results from a robust research process indicate that impulse turbines such as Pelton and Cross-flow turbines were the most suitable option for small-scale hydropower systems.
