In the context of micro-hydro power schemes the initial cost of conventional Francis turbine units is often prohibitive …-design performance due to the fixed geometry and absence of inlet flow control. In the current work a micro-hydro test facility and … testing of a hydraulic turbine unit suitable for use in rural micro-hydro, and energy recovery installations. Maximum …

Research around micro-hydro power is focused on technical aspects with limited understanding of the social organisation … and environmental implications. We examine the ways in which micro-hydro is engaged by people and organisations as a means … and contested. A web based review of micro-hydro schemes in the UK was undertaken and a detailed evaluation of two schemes …

entirely of renewable energy sources—specifically solar photovoltaic (PV), wind, and micro-hydro sources. One of the methods …

photovoltaic (solar PV) and micro hydro powered village grids, and compare them to the conventional diesel solution. For solar PV … approach. Finally, we determine the CO2 emission abatement costs and reduction potentials. Our results show that micro hydro … contingency is applied. From an environmental perspective, micro hydro powered village grid solutions are found to have negative …
