Small Hydropower

Design and Analysis

By: Sunil Kumar Singal,Varun Goel,Himanshu Nautiyal,Dimitris Papantonis

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

Power Plant Synthesis

By: Dimitris Al. Katsaprakakis

Power Plant Synthesis provides an integrated approach to the operation, analysis, simulation, and dimensioning of power plants for electricity and thermal energy production. Fundamental concepts of energy and power, energy conversion, and power plant design are first presented, and integrated approaches for the operation and simulation of conventional electricity production systems are then examined. Hybrid power plants and cogeneration systems are covered, with operating algorithms, optimization, and dimensioning methods explained. The environmental impacts of energy sources are described and compared, with real-life case studies included to show the synthesis of the specific topics covered.

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. 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
