<![CDATA[The use of household water tanks is typically limited to storing water pumped from wells, though positioning a tank at height can generate alternative energy as water flows out. The contribution of flow rate, head, and water pressure offers an opportunity for water flow technology to convert this energy into small-scale electricity. This study aims to analyze the effect of the placement point of water flow technology on the electrical energy generated, examined through flow rate, head, and water pressure, to determine the optimal placement configuration. A descriptive-experimental method was employed with three independent variables (measurement point position, water tank capacity, and pipe diameter) resulting in eight combinations of measurement variations. The dependent variables measured were flow rate, water pressure, and generator voltage, with each measurement repeated three times for 60 seconds. Results showed that the optimal voltage of 25 VAC was achieved using a ½-in pipe diameter, a water tank positioned 4 m above ground level, and the water flow technology placed 50 cm above ground level. This voltage can be used for emergency LED lighting or, with an energy storage component and DC conversion, as a household power bank.]]>
