LAYMAN'S HANDBOOK ON HOW TO DEVELOP A SMALL HYDRO SITE 2nd Ed.

Title: LAYMAN’s Guidebook on how Develop a Small Hydro Site
Author: Celso Penche, Dr Ingeniero de Minas (U.Politécnica de Madrid)
Publication: June, 1998 Directorate General for Energy (DGXVII) European Commission
File: PDF 11.7MB, 266 Pages

Book Description:

Taken from Introduction: This handbook, an updated version of the original Layman’s Handbook on how to develop a Small Hydro Site, published by the Commission in 1993, has been written, in the frame of the ALTENER programme, under contract with the Commission of the European Communities (Directorate General for Energy, DG XVII). It has not been designed to replace professional expertise but it is hoped it is comprehensive enough to advise laymen on all necessary procedures that should be followed to develop a site. However its content includes enough technical information, so a non-specialist engineer would be able to produce a primary feasibility report.

Contents:

■Introduction [ A free fuel resource potentially everlasting. ~ Definition of small hydropower ~ Site configurations ~ Planning a small hydropower scheme ]
■2 Fundamentals of Hydraulic Engineering [ Introduction ~ Water flow in pipes ~ Water flow in open channels ~ Computer programs ]
■3 The water resource and its potential [ Introduction ~ Evaluating streamflows by discharge measurements ~ Streamflow characteristics ~ Residual, reserved or compensation flow ~ Estimation of plant capacity and energy output ~ Firm energy . ]
■4 Site evaluation methodologies [ Introduction ~ Cartography ~ Geotechnical studies ~ Learning from failures ]
■5 Hydraulic structures [ Structures for storage and water intake ~ Onlinefreeebooks.net ~ Waterways ]
■6 Electromechanical equipment [ Powerhouse ~ Hydraulic turbines ~ Speed increasers ~ Generators ~ Turbine control ~ Switchgear equipment ~ Automatic control ~ Ancillary electrical equipment ~ Examples. ]
■7 Environmental impact and its mitigation [ Introduction ~ Burdens and impacts identification ~ Impacts in the construction phase ~ Impacts arising from the operation of the scheme ~ Impacts from transmission lines ~ Conclusions ]
■8 Economic Analysis [ Introduction ~ Basic considerations ~ Financial mathematics ~ Methods of economic evaluation ~ Financial analysis of some European schemes . ]
■9 Administrative procedures [ Introduction ~ Economic issues ~ How to support renewable energy under deregulation* ~ Technical aspects ~ Procedural issues ~ Environmental constraints ]
