1. A hydro-power generation system comprising:

  • an energy storage device;

    a processor coupled with the energy storage device; and

    a hydro-power generator configured to rotate by a flow of liquid to produce output power, the hydro-power generator designed as a direct power source to match an impedance of a given load based on a predetermined range of revolutions-per-minute of the hydro-power generator due to the flow of liquid,the processor configured to initially energize the load with power supplied by the energy storage device, and the processor further configured to energize the load with power generated by the hydro-power generator in response to the output power of the hydro-power generator reaching a predetermined threshold.
