1 | Micro Hydropower System Design Guidelines 1. Introduction This guideline provides the minimum knowledge on design of micro hydro systems in regional countries. A hydro system is usually classified by size (generating capacity) and the type of scheme (run-of-river, storage, etc).
Micro-hydro systems generally consist of the following components: A trash rack, weir, and forebay to pre-vent debris from entering the pipeline and turbine. A pipeline (also called a penstock) to pipe water to the turbine. A powerhouse that contains the turbine and electronics.
Before commencing the installation process, you should have selected the appropriate components and consulted your local regulations concerning use of water and undertaking electrical work. The main components of a typical micro hydropower system as depicted in Figure 1 are:
Micro-Hydro Design Manual. A guide to small-scale water power schemes. Adam Harvey. Micro-Hydro Design Manual has grown from Intermediate Technology's field experiences with micro-hydro installations and covers operation and maintenance, commissioning, electrical power, induction generators, electronic controllers, management, and energy surveys.
These micro hydropower tools (MHP Design Aids) have been prepared to provide a basis for consultants to undertake calculations and prepare drawings as per the requirements set aside by AEPC.
will serve as a useful tool for a potential developer of a small hydropower scheme. This guide is divided into nine chapters and covers the basic concepts, meaning of definitions and technological issues to be addressed. Chapter 1 – Introduces basic concepts, such as the definition of small hydropower, types of
Small-scale hydropower is one of the most long term, cost-effective and reliable energy technologies to be considered for providing clean electricity generation. In particular, the key advantages that small hydro has over wind and solar power are: A high conversion efficiency (70 - 90%), by far the best of
