Synopsis
Micro-hydro systems can be an invaluable means, of bringing power to rural areas. In this way mechanical power for milling and electrical power for lighting, refrigeration and small industry can be generated to improve the quality of life and boost the economy in villages which are not connected to the national grid. This manual, based on the authors' considerable experience of working in the field and training local engineers, examines every stage of planning an installation, from site survey and estimation of demand to contracts and financial analysis. Worked examples with illustrations and notes help the reader through all the practical aspects of the project, with detailed sections on turbines, governing, drive systems, electrical power and maintenance. Aimed at planners, field workers and local engineers, this is a comprehensive guide for those wanting to install a micro-hydro system. This book should interest engineers wanting to design micro-hydro scheme, planners, field workers, local engineers.
About the Author
Adam Harvey has worked for the micro-hydro programme of IT (now Practical Action) in Nepal and Sri Lanka and on training courses for engineers from developing countries. He holds a PhD from the University of Warwick in the field of renewable energy.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 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 independent micro-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 and smaller organizations following less strict regulations and using 'off-the-shelf' components or locally made machinery. This book 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.
