Download or read book Micro hydro Design Manual written by Adam Harvey and published by Intermediate Technology. This book was released on 1993-01 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.There is an increasing need in many countries for power supplies to rural areas, partly to support industries, and partly to provide illumination at night. Government authorities are faced with the very high costs of extending electricity grids. Often micro-hydro provides an economic alternative to the grid. This is because independentmicro-hydro schemes save on the cost of grid transmission lines, and because grid extension schemes often have very expensive equipment and staff costs. In contrast, micro-hydro schemes can be designed and built by local staff andsmaller organizations following less strict regulations and using 'off-the-shelf' components or locally made machinery.

Download or read book Serious Microhydro written by Scott Davis and published by New Society Publishers. This book was released on 2010-10-12 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waterpower is the largest source of renewable energy in the world today, and microhydro is a mature, proven technology that can provide clean, inexpensive, renewable energy with little or no impact on the environment. Serious Microhydro brings you dozens of firsthand stories of energy independence covering a complete range of systems, from household pressure sites to higher pressure installations capable of powering a farm, business, or small neighborhood. Topics include: Low head and medium head sites AC-only systems as well as ones using a battery/inverter subsystem Stand alone power supply or grid intertie setups Hybrid systems (combined with photovoltaics or wind) With all the variables involved in microhydro, there is no “typical” system. These case studies represent the most comprehensive collection of knowledge and experience available for tailoring an installation to meet the needs of a site and its owner or operators. If you are considering building a system, you are bound to find a wealth of creative solutions appropriate to your own circumstances. Serious Microhydro shows how scores of people are achieving a high standard of living from local energy sources with a minimal ecological footprint. It has particular appeal to homeowners, teachers, renewable energy professionals, activists, and decision makers who want to understand the technology from a “hands-on” perspective. Scott Davis is an award-winning renewable energy project developer with decades of experience operating, installing, designing, selling, and teaching microhydro technology. He is a founder and president of Friends of Renewable Energy BC, and the author of Microhydro: Clean Power From Water.

Off-Grid Guide: Live Off The Grid With DIY Micro Hydro Power System If you wish to go off-grid and attain a self-sustainable lifestyle, then you have certainly come to the right place. In this highly comprehensive guide, we will teach you how to create different kinds of hydro power systems on your own. You might already know that unlike other renewable sources of energy, hydro power doesn't come with any restriction. You can easily utilize a natural source of water or even create an artificial stream of running water to generate power. Learn how to utilize the power of running water and generate electricity with the assistance of various hydro power systems. You don't have to worry if you have never worked on a power system before. We have started right from the basics in this guide. Firstly, we will make you familiar with the principle of hydro power and what are the major components of it. Subsequently, we will provide an in-depth tutorial to build hydro power generators of different kinds. Some of the topics that are discussed in the book are as follows. An introduction to hydro power The working principle of hydro power generators Major components of a hydro power system Building a basic micro hydro power system Building a paddle wheel hydro power system Building a recycled hydro power system, and more Don't wait anymore and go off-grid by harnessing the immense power of running water.

Book excerpt: "Micro-hydropower systems are small hydropower plants that have an installed power generation capacity of less than 100 kilowatts (kW). Many micro-hydropower systems operate "run of river," which means that no large dams or water storage reservoirs are built and no land is flooded. The majority of these systems only use a fraction of the available stream flow to generate power, and this has little environmental impact"--Introduction.
