Abstract:

The exploitation of water flows in collective irrigation networks is promising in view of enhancing renewable energy production in agriculture. To this goal, a simplified method to estimate the electricity production of small hydro power (SHP) plants integrated in existing irrigation systems is proposed. This method schematizes the water network by an “equivalent” system, consisting of a single pipeline with homogeneous diameter and material. The proposed method only requires as input data the altimetry and the maps of the irrigated areas instead of the materials and diameters of all the condu

Abstract:

Project SMART (Strategies to Promote Small-Scale Hydro Electricity Production in Europe) from the Intelligent Energy Europe (IEE) program, in which 7 institutions from 5 European states participate, pointed to the important barriers for the expansion of small hydro power plants (SHP) in Europe. One of the main barriers is the lack of suitable methodology and software able to create a clear view of the SHP potential in the given territory, as well as a complete techno-economic analysis for certain locations. Worldwide, there are a certain number of software for this purpose, and will be present

Abstract:

Obtaining energy from renewable resources is a worldwide trend in the age of increasing energy demand. Hydropower has some potential in this field, especially for low-power locations. However, construction of such facilities requires high expenses, which is why some attempts at lowering the costs have been made, i.e., by proposing alternative solutions to the classic ones. This paper proposes a selection of options for small hydropower plants (SHP) that lower the investment costs while keeping up profitable operations.

Abstract:

The increasing demand for electricity, particularly in remote and off-grid regions, has highlighted the need for cost-effective and environmentally sustainable energy solutions. This study investigates the feasibility of utilizing a centrifugal pump, operated in reverse mode with an open impeller, as a turbine for micro-hydro power generation. Small hydropower (SHP) systems, characterized by their affordability and minimal ecological impact, represent a promising alternative to large-scale energy projects. Experimental tests were conducted to evaluate the operational parameters of the open imp

Abstract:

This article considers the use of photovoltaic converter energy for excitation of autonomous synchronous generators of small capacity. Autonomous power plants include mini hydro power plants, wind generators, diesel power plants, car generators, aircraft generators. Synchronous generators of these installations are initially excited from accumulator batteries and after operation of the generator from semiconductor rectifiers, the power supply of which is taken away from the generator stator.

Abstract Despite the long history of hydropower technology and rising number of system harvesting energy from alternative sources, the constant research within hydro power sector becoming increasingly important as the power from water was and still is the leading alternative source of green energy generation, capitalized not necessarily within micro-urban structures only. The advantages of hydro systems involve their relatively low acquisition cost against durability, the possibility of gaining energy independence, relatively high flexibility and adaptability for spatial conditions and energy

Abstract:

The article provides an assessment of water resources on the territory of the Arkhangelsk region. The hydro-energy resources of large, medium and small rivers are determined. The characteristics of previously existing collective-farm and state-farm hydroelectric power plants are shown. Some design options for the construction of new small hydroelectric power plants in the region and their economic parameters, are considered.

This paper is dedicated to comparative analysis and description of a micro hydroelectric power plant with bi-rotor hydro generator. Based on the characteristics analysis, this paper describes a renewable energy source for a small watercourse; the feasibility of micro hydroelectric power plants with bi-rotor hydro generator is demonstrated. The features of their operation require in-depth research to substantiate parameters of such installations. This paper presents the analysis of the usage of micro hydroelectric solutions with bi-rotor hydro generator. The lattice theory problem was solved, w

In 2000 and 2005, fish ladders were built in Vilnia and Siesartis rivers providing fish access to another 10 and 25 km of the rivers respectively. The analysis of redd distribution and abundance in both rivers revealed that the construction of fish ladders significantly increased the number and share of redds above dams, however, a significant increase in redds above the dam occurred 2-4 years after fish ladders construction supporting homing behaviour as one of the most important factors for the recolonization of the newly accessible habitats.

Abstract:

Renewable energy is the energy that comes from sources such as sunlight, wind, hydro, biomass and biogas etc. There is a large potential for renewable energy in India. Decentralized Distributed Generation is the alternate option for rural electrification. India’s goals for the production of electricity from renewable energy depend heavily on hydropower. However, budgetary limitations, environmental concerns, and contractual disputes play spoilsport. The intermittent nature of renewable energy sources is taken into account while doing the dependability study of the Micro Hydro system. In reliab

Abstract:

Small-scale hydropower plants (SHP) have been losing competitiveness compared to other renewable sources in the global electricity matrix due to technical, environmental, regulatory, and economic issues. In this context, and to contribute to the development and strengthening of SHP’s integration into the country’s electricity matrix, this study proposes the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) as a strategic evaluation tool for SHP projects from the prospecting phase to the pre-implementation phase, taking into account financial and non-financial performance indicators.
