Hydropower isn't only a renewable and sustainable energy source, but its flexibility and storage capacity also make it possible to enhance grid stability and to support the deployment of other intermittent renewable energy sources like wind and solar energy. As a result, renewed interests in micro hydro energy storage plants (MHES) and an enormous demand for the rehabilitation of old small hydropower plants are emerging globally. As regards MHES, advances in turbine design are required to extend plant performance and adaptability and new strategies for optimizing storage capacity and for maximizing plant profitability within the regulated energy market need to be developed. In small hydropower systems, Pumps as Turbines (PaT) represent a cheap alternative to plain turbines are often predicted before their installation. This paper traces a summary of the micro pumped-hydro energy storage within the light of sustainable development. A design procedure is carried to seek out the quantity of reservoir required, selection criteria for turbo machinery needed for the project. During this paper the potential and feasibility of Pump as Turbine (PAT) is discussed .An design procedure is administered for calculating the simplest Efficiency Points (BEP) is administered. A model design is administered using the planning procedure mentioned during this paper and Computational Fluid Analysis (CFD) of impellor is completed through Ansys.
