Hydropowerprovides a complete discussion of the most up-to-date considerations of this method of creating renewable energy. After introducing the method's history, the author explores various considerations for engineers, planners and managers who need to determine the best placement and size of a plant. The book then presents various types of hydropower systems, such as Run-of-River Schemes and various types of Dam and Turbines, also considering the important economic, environmental and geological impacts of each. Those involved in the planning, design and management of hydropower systems, such as engineers, researchers, managers and policymakers will find this book a very valuable and insightful resource.
Explores different types of dams and turbines set alongside easy-to-understand diagrams, such as Embankment Dams, Concrete Arch Dams, Reaction Turbines and Francis Turbines
Considers various economic and environmental factors significant for this type of project, such as resettlement, biodiversity and greenhouse gases
Discusses best practices for locating a hydropower site and how to make important decisions regarding placement and method

Описание: Small hydropower is increasingly important on a global level, and the possibility of local power generation could considerably improve living conditions in rural areas in developing countries. This thesis presents a numerical modelling approach to improve the design of low-cost machines like water wheels for increased hydraulic efficiency. Using a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approach, it explores effects of blade geometry, optimal wheel-width to channel-width ratio and channel bed conditions upstream and downstream to improve performance. With a power rating in the low kilowatt range, low-head hydropower machines seem to have a clear potential for small-scale energy generation.

Описание: The production of electricity using the power of hydro and thermal energies presents a sustainable and renewable energy production technology. Hydropower is a mature technology, used in over 160 countries globally, where the kinetic energy of falling water is converted to electricity in hydropower plants. This book, divided into eight chapters, provides the reader with information on fundamental concepts and terminologies of the hydropower technologies. Each chapter can be read as stand-alone comprehensive content to gain knowledge on a particular area of relevance or interest. Readers are presented with a concise compilation of the best current knowledge on the types, mechanics and sustainability in the planning, management, and operations of hydropower technologies.

Описание: Flowing water creates energy that can be captured and turned into electricity. This is called hydroelectric power or hydropower. Hydropower is electricity generated using the energy of moving water. Rain or melted snow, usually originating in hills and mountains, create streams and rivers that eventually run to the ocean. The energy of that moving water can be substantial, as anyone who has been whitewater rafting knows. This energy has been exploited for centuries. Since ancient times, hydropower from many kinds of watermills has been used as a renewable energy source for irrigation and the operation of various mechanical devices, such as gristmills, sawmills, textile mills, trip hammers, dock cranes, domestic lifts, and ore mills. A trompe, which produces compressed air from falling water, is sometimes used to power other machinery at a distance. In the late 19th century, hydropower became a source for generating electricity. Hydroelectric energy is the most widely used form of renewable energy, accounting for 16 percent of global electricity consumption. Hydropower is the cheapest way to generate electricity today. Thats because once a dam has been built and the equipment installed, the energy source -- flowing water -- is free. Its a clean fuel source that is renewable yearly by snow and rainfall. Hydropower is also readily available; engineers can control the flow of water through the turbines to produce electricity on demand. This book emphasises on theoretical and applied results acquired by the authors in the course of a long time of practice devoted to problems in the design and operation of a substantial number of hydroelectric power plants. The book covers all the foremost components of a hydro power plant, from the upstream end, with the basin for water intake, to the downstream end of the water flow outlet.
