Designing and Building Mini and Micro Hydro Power Schemes

About The Book

Small hydro power installations have the potential to provide a renewable supply of energy to people in remote hilly communities far from the national gird. This book is based on the authors' considerable experience of installing hydroelectric schemes that produce up to 500kW for powering small communities. The book describes not only the electro-mechanical equipment and how it is installed but also the correct setting of the installation and how to design and build the channels leading up to the turbine so as to optimize performance. These civil works can be carried out by local manpower using materials that are usually available locally. Chapters cover the main components of small hydroelectric plants from the intake and the headrace channel via the conveyance channel to the forebay tank penstock turbine and generator. This practical manual is a major new addition to the resources available for micro-hydro power project and programme managers worldwide and represents excellent value for such a detailed technical reference handbook.
