Book excerpt: 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

Book excerpt: Hydro power is one of the cleanest sources of renewable energy on earth with a long history of exploitation. The conventional methods of harnessing this energy which mainly involve building dams on the rivers and natural reservoirs have caused some irreversible environmental impacts; large scale hydropower plants are being decommissioned every year and the tendency increases towards the use of this energy on smaller scales. Architecture today merges with technology and sustainable design. If the hydropower plants can be integrated into the building units, the future of urban design and architecture will not be separated from energy production. Perhaps, the plan of the future cities will be based on the idea of energy-producing units. Therefore, the role of architects and designers in integrating such units into the body of cities and building structures will become more critical.“Designed for Water” intends to encourage designers to apply hydraulic design ideas in the design and planning of future cities. In this book, number of the hydraulic/ hydropower projects with unique characteristics were selected to not only emphasize their distinctive design and mechanisms, but also to reflect their architectural design capacities. Each chapter of this book highlights specific design feature or invention that makes the selected projects unique in comparison with the other hydropower plants/ hydraulic projects around the world. This book, therefore, is formed around the following topics: a historic precedent integrating the hydropower plants with urban spaces; an innovative barrier; the integration of hydropower plants with their surrounding landscape; an innovative small scale hydropower plant for low head flows; network of interconnected hydropower plants; and, inventive turbines.

Download or read book Climate Smart Small Scale Hydro Power Plants written by Lasantha Jayasinghe and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate Smart Small-Scale Hydro Power Plants provides empirical guidance to practitioners seeking to optimize the design and adapt the operation of small hydro power plants (SHPPs) to reflect the growing threats posed by climate change. The work opens by reviewing the current position, practice and impacts of SHPP as part of a diversifying sustainable energy mix threatened by the uncertain vagaries of climate change - including violent flooding, inconsistent rain fall, poor catchment management, and water flow rises. The book collectively presents an argument for 'climate smart' SHPP planning and design which integrates qualitative and quantitative climate-change context-sensitive aspects into the design of SHPP systems, anchored in technical rigor, specialized simulation modelling, financial prudence, and environmental impact assessments. Chapters review practical examples of hydro-ecological regimes where small hydro power plants play a vital component in the overall energy mix, focusing on social, ecological and economic dimensions of safeguarding, key policies and operational practices. These case studies are used to assess progress and future steps in achieving SHPP climate smart systems, blending comparative review, integration and analysis. The work concludes by elaborating policy lessons, outlining pathways to mitigate risk for future systems. Explains how to adapt small hydro power systems to mitigate climate change using climate smart approaches Guides policymakers to discount climate change impacts when formulating environmental policies for SHPP systems Blends ecological, economic and social considerations in developing hydroecological solutions
