Hydropower structures have been used for several centuries. Nevertheless, there are still water bodies with potential energy worldwide, such as low-head canals, streams, and rivers. Gravitational vortex micro hydropower plants belong to the category of devices operating in low-head water bodies. This article analyzes gravitational vortex micro hydropower plants with conical and cylindrical basins. The results indicate that the geometric shape and dimensions of the device influence its energy efficiency.
