Review of Pump as Turbine (PAT) for Micro-Hydropower
Micro-hydropower projects are the excellent alternative for electricity generation in remote areas. These projects can be installed on small streams, rivers, and channels without any recognizable effect on environment. The only problem in micro-hydro projects is the high cost of turbine, for which Pump as Turbine (PAT) is a successful solution. An objective of the present study is to review the...
متن کاملOptimal design of axial hydro turbine for micro hydropower plants
In our country we have enormous low head potation flows in agricultures and aquacultures with almost fix flow rates that can be used as micro hydro power plants for producing energy. But the main problem is the high capital price per kW. Therefore there is needed to design a simple machine with a good runner for covering the various potential flows. In this paper an axial hydro turbine has desi...
متن کاملEstimating Hydropower Potential of an Ungauged Stream
This paper present a simple method of assessing hydropower generation potential of an ungauged Stream/River. Sites on Rukarara and Mushishito in the southern province of Rwanda were selected as case studies. The approach uses flow data of an analogue site to generate the data of an ungauged river. During the study a reconnaissance field visits were conducted. The concerned catchments were delin...
متن کاملFeasibility of Hydrogen Production from Micro Hydropower Projects in Nepal
The current energy crisis in Nepal clearly indicates that the future energy-demand cannot be met by traditional energy-sources. Community-based micro-hydropower operations are considered to be one of the most feasible options for energy development. However, the power plant capacity factor remains very low due to limited commercial and business opportunities. Generation of hydrogen (H2) from th...
متن کاملSustainability assessment of a micro hydropower plant in Nepal
Background: Many rural electrification projects around the world employ micro hydropower plants (MHPs). These installations provide immediate and direct benefits to the local people. However, the sustainability of their operation in the long run remains a vital issue. Without proper sustainability assessment, the projects may face operational problems. However, to date, only a few empirical stu...
