Small and Micro Hydropower Plants is a guidebook for the reliable and sustainable solutions for design of small scale hydroelectric systems. It presents the most recent knowledge of all aspects of small hydropower engineering, thus forming a comprehensive collection of modern and innovative technology and practices. Different types of weir and water intakes are discussed, as well as hydrology aspects like discharge estimation and measurement. The book explores the latest advances in turbine, gear boxes, belt drives, generators, and remote control, critically assessing and comparing these technologies' viability for commercial application. It offers an analysis of operation tools, remote supervision and maintenance. Finally, the book also considers social aspects, like community negotiation, as well as environmental aspects, like ecological flow, fish bypassing, and climate change impacts. Engineering researchers, advanced graduate students and practitioners working in small and micro hydropower have in this book an ideal reference for designing and improving these systems through reliable and sustainable solutions. Prior knowledge of hydropower systems design is assumed. Presents the latest advances small and micro hydropower, including the most recent available technology, engineering concepts, control systems, impact assessment methodologies, economics and policy aspects Examines step by step real-life design and global implementation cases Discusses factors for sustainability of hydropower plants, such as the impact of Climate Change and community mediation

Small Hydropower: Design and Analysis presents a comprehensive guide to the design, operation and maintenance of small hydropower plants. Using detailed diagrams and illustrations, the book examines the classifications, components, equipment, feasibility and analysis of each aspect of SHPs. Following a broad introduction, the book discusses classification approaches based on head, discharge, capacity, etc., analyzes site selection, and gives an overview of key development stages. SHP components for civil engineering works and electro-mechanical equipment have dedicated chapters that are followed by a chapter on how to design new components for the civil, mechanical and electrical aspects of a plant. Subsequent chapters provide guidance on economic and financial analysis, environmental impact, troubleshooting and diagnosis in operating plants, and refurbishment and upgradation of SHPs, when and why this is needed, and how to approach it. Finally, several case studies provide real-world examples of SHPs in operation, giving readers insight into the practical needs of operating SHPs. Addresses all aspects of small hydropower, including civil works, hydro-mechanical, power generation and distribution, costing and financial analysis, environmental impact, and plant refurbishment and upgrading Provides dedicated chapters on the environmental and ecological impacts of small hydropower plants Assesses common problems in SHPs and provides tools for troubleshooting, diagnosis and solutions, including for site-specific issues Presents detailed real-world case studies showing the application of key aspects of SHP design, operation, maintenance, environmental and ecological assessment, and refurbishment

The Hydrologic Engineering Center, Corps of Engineers, is preparing a document entitled 'Manual for the Determination of the Feasibility of Adding Small Hydroelectric Power to an Existing Facility.' The manual is designed for use by public agencies (federal, state and local), public and private utilities, and private investors. It focuses upon the concepts, technology, and economic and financial issues unique to small hydropower additions. This paper discusses issues related to engineering and economic considerations in planning small hydropower additions, presents an overview of significant findings of the investigation to data, and provides a status report on manual preparation.

Climate change concerns have brought a renewed focus on increased hydropower production as a potential replacement for electricity from fossil fuels. Hydropower currently accounts for about 6 per cent of the electricity produced in the United States, and the generation of electricity from hydropower produces essentially no emissions of carbon. However, since most of the larger, more traditional hydroelectric resources have already been developed, a clean energy rationale for development of small and low-head hydropower resources may now exist. This book examines small hydro and low-head hydro technologies and the forward thinking regulations that encourage the development of these resources in cost-effective, environmentally friendly ways which recognise that such facilities, once built, can last for at least 50 years.

To say that energy is a complicated subject would be an understatement. Access to energy provides economic, social, and health benefits, while its abuse results in social, economic, environmental and climate detriments. How we meet our global energy needs may be one of the most critical issues facing people today. World economies are currently looking for ways to either increase energy production (such as those in emerging countries without sufficient electricity supply) or shift to cleaner and more sustainable energy (such as those in industrialized countries). Small hydropower is one opportunity that has presented itself to meet some of these growing energy needs. This article will examine: (1) what small hydropower is, including a case study from Scotland; (2) its potential role in rural electrification and climate adaptation; and (3) considerations and legal reforms that could allow responsible small hydropower development to occur. Nearly 160 countries generate electricity from some form of hydropower, accounting for approximately 16% of the world's electricity generation. Large, conventional hydropower makes up the vast majority of the world's hydropower.“Unlike large conventional hydropower, small and low flow hydropower facilities require less water flow” --making them attractive for rural electrification in less traditional hydropower areas. Further, they can be placed in or on existing conduits, canals, locks, and even on existing small, unpowered dams. Importantly, these small facilities are less likely to negatively impact human and wildlife environments because they take up less physical space, do not require a reservoir, and in many instances can be located on waterways free of wildlife or natural habitat. This low cost distributed form of renewable energy generation--with responsible development--can benefit industrialized and emerging countries alike.For small hydropower to meet its full potential, however, legal and policy guidance will be necessary. Specifically, policymakers will need to consider--at the very least--factors such as the need for detailed site-specific information, a stable and flexible governance permitting scheme, and incentives that encourage investment in this renewable source.
