This paper gives a review of small hydropower technology. A Small hydropower (SHP) plant
uses impulse or reaction turbines and is mainly 'run-off-river'. SHP technologies currently …

As the share of renewable energy resources rapidly increases in the electricity mix, the
recognition, representation, quantification, and eventually interpretation of their uncertainties …

In terms of fuel resource, hydropower possesses a prominent advantage over any other
large power plants which burn fossil fuels to generate electricity. Moreover, due to the …

Many countries have taken on ambitious but potentially costly renewable energy
development goals to combat climate change. The government of Guatemala has …

Analyses of possible synergies between energy recovery and water management are
essential for achieving sustainable improvements in the performance of irrigation water …

One of the biggest challenges facing the world today is to provide access to a safe and
affordable electricity supply. Depending on the river flow, small-hydropower is often a cost …

A major barrier to starting small scale hydro power projects is an understanding of how
much the scheme will cost. Empirical formulae to estimate the cost of electro-mechanical …

Hydroelectric power is a relatively cheap, reliable, sustainable, and renewable source of
energy that can be generated without toxic waste and considerably lower emissions of …
