Inhaltsangabe

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.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

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 to SHPs, the book discusses classification approaches based on head, discharge, capacity, etc, analyses site selection, and gives an overview of the key development stages for a new SHP project. SHP components for civil engineering works and electro-mechanical equipment have dedicated chapters, which is followed by a chapter on how to design new components for the civil, mechanical, and electrical aspects of a plant. Chapters 8, 9, and 10 then provide guidance on economic and financial analysis, environmental impact, and troubleshooting and diagnosis in operating plants. Chapter 11 discusses the 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. Small Hydropower: Design and Analysis is a comprehensive reference for students and instructors in Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering involved in any aspects of hydropower, and will also be valuable to practicing engineers working on the planning, feasibility, and design of new SHPs or their operation and maintenance.
