Abstract

Studies in renewable recently had captured the attention of the researcher due to benefits to environmental and green application. In Malaysia, renewable energy based on hydro especially in small hydropower system based on run-of-river schemes are less implemented even though there are abundant numbers of potential site that can be exploited. Small hydropower system generates energy from flowing of water therefore, the availability study of the stream flow is necessary to contribute to the success of the project. Probability distribution function comparison between GEV, Gumbel and Weibull will be used in this study to find the best fit probability distribution for the stream flow data that are obtained for the whole year of 2016. Monte Carlo simulation will be act as a tool to validate the distribution applied for the stream flow data obtained. GEV, Gumbel and Weibull distribution function were chose due to its capability to cater the extreme events occurred in the stream flow. From the result, both stream flow and simulation of Monte Carlo leads to same types of distribution that is suitable to be used in describing the events which is GEV distribution function.
