Synopsis
Small hydro power installations have the potential to provide a renewable supply of energy to people in remote, hilly communities, far from the national grid. This book is based on the authors’ considerable experience of installing hydroelectric schemes that produce up to 500 kW for powering small communities. This book describes not only the electro-mechanical equipment and how it is installed, but also the correct siting 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.

Review
"The power of water hasn't caught on in the national level, but can be invaluable to certain communities. Designing and Building Mini and Micro Hydropower Schemes: A Practical Guide is a collection of advice for those who are pursuing this sort of power for their community. Ideal for remote communities that are far from the traditional power of the modern day, these works can provide enough power for small communities, with materials and manpower that can be acquired locally. Ideal for anyone who is in charge of managing public works for their community, Designing and Building Mini and Micro Hydropower Schemes is a vital addition to any engineering or power management collection." (Midwest Book Review 2011-11-01)
"This books' strength is that it is based on years of experience out in the field of designing micro hydro systems that work." (Dr. Arthur Williams, School of Electrical Electronic Engineering)
