About this product

Product Information

Drawing on the authors' extensive experience with designing and implementing hydropower systems around the world. Hydroelectric Energy: Renewable Energy and the Environment covers hydrological resources, civil structures, hydraulic turbines, generation technologies, economics, and participatory processes involved in the development of hydroelectric energy. It provides essential theory and practical techniques for designing and implementing hydropower projects with worked-out examples, exercise questions, references, and sample photographs and technical drawing from various power plants. The book provides insights on suitable designs ranging from micro hydropower systems for electrifying off-grid communities to larger power plants supplying national grids. It contains numerous examples of installations to highlight choices between various water conveyance structures, application ranges of turbine types suitable for different site conditions, and generators and controls. Emphasizing the link between energy and the environment, the book serves as a valuable guide to understand how hydropower contributes positively to climate change mitigation and supports the development of other renewable energy sectors, and also examines measures to mitigate the potential ecological and social impacts of its own. Features, Provides background theory and principles for design and implementation of hydroelectric projects with applications ranging from powering mini-grids to supplying national grids, Addresses civil structures, hydraulic turbines, and electrical components of a hydroelectric system, Enables readers to discern which hydropower designs and technologies work best for different topographies and site conditions, Provides practical techniques for site selection, resource assessment, feasibility studies, financing, and other participatory processes involved in hydropower development, Stresses sustainability and the important linkages between hydropower development and the environment, including impacts on ecosystems and local populations, and climate change.

Reviews
"The authors demonstrate an in-depth technical know-how on hydropower systems based on decades of field experience. The subject covers both the technical theory and the practical know-how on how to design and implement small hydropower projects from A to Z." --Robert Foster, New Mexico State University, USA "The book provides an excellent balance of the most relevant topics in Hydropower Development. It is well written and gives an in depth practical guidance as well as theoretical background. I expect this book to be useful to both the practicing engineers as well as graduate and postgraduate students specializing in hydropower or renewable energy in an environmental friendly manner." --Nijaz Lukovac, Hydro-Engineering Institute Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina
