<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This practical manual is a major new addition to the resources available for micro-hydro power project and programme managers worldwide and represents excellent value for such a detailed technical reference handbook.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Small hydro power installations have the potential to provide a renewable supply of energy to people in remote, hilly communities, far from the national gird. This book is based on the authors' considerable experience of installing hydroelectric schemes that produce up to 500kW for powering small communities. The book describes not only the electro-mechanical equipment and how it is installed, but also the correct setting of the installation and how to design and build the channels leading up to the turbine so as to optimize performance. These civil works can be carried out by local manpower, using materials that are usually available locally. Chapters cover the main components of small hydroelectric plants from the intake and the headrace channel, via the conveyance channel, to the forebay tank, penstock, turbine, and generator. This practical manual is a major new addition to the resources available for micro-hydro power project and programme managers worldwide and represents excellent value for such a detailed technical reference handbook.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The power of water hasn't caught on in the national level, but can be invaluable to certain communities. <i>Designing and Building Mini and Micro Hydropower Schemes: A Practical Guide</i> is a collection of advice for those who are pursuing this sort of power for their community. Ideal for remote communities that are far from the traditional power of the modern day, these works can provide enough power for small communities, with materials and manpower that can be acquired locally. Ideal for anyone who is in charge of managing public works for their community, <i>Designing and Building Mini and Micro Hydropower Schemes</i> is a vital addition to any engineering or power management collection."-- (11/01/2011)<br><br>"This books' strength is that it is based on years of experience out in the field of designing micro hydro systems that work."--Dr. Arthur Williams, School of Electrical Electronic Engineering<br>
