How Micro-hydro power plant fit in support of SDG 7?

Abstract

SDGs establish an evidence-based structure for sustainable development planning and implementation. A micro-hydro power plant (MHPP) is a compact hydroelectric using a non-variable system and engine-driven control for active power generation. Bibliometric research related to Micro-hydro Power Plants to achieve SDG7 needs to be studied more. This study conducted a bibliometric analysis of Micro-hydro Power Plants to investigate their contribution to achieving SDG7. This study aims to (1) analyze the distribution of Micro-hydro Power Plants research to achieving SDG7, (2) analyze countries’ contribution to Micro-hydro Power Plants research, (3) network analysis of Micro-hydro Power Plants research and contribution to achieving SDG7. This bibliometric analysis using VOS viewer and R-Studio Biblioshiny with Scopus database (2014-2024). Research on Micro-hydropower plants increased rapidly in 2018, with Indonesia being the most published document. Micro-hydropower plants contribute to sustainable development goal 7 by providing adequate, sustainable energy. It is environmentally friendly and fulfills energy demands in small communities.
