Abstract:
The power sector in Uganda has increased steadily, focusing majorly on rural electrification to increase the proportion of the rural population accessing electricity using grid extension and isolated mini-grid approaches. Hydropower mini-grids implemented in rural communities have issues regarding system failures leading to shutdowns and load shedding. A study on an existing isolated hydropower mini-grid was made to find the possible causes. A review of published articles and reports, and an analysis of enrollment patterns, energy sales, and load demand was carried out. A field survey with a guided questionnaire to collect information about real energy demand data was carried out. The performance of the system was accomplished through simulation using HOMER pro × 64 software. The findings from the study show a reduction in customer enrollment, a reduction in energy sales, and a reasonable number of system shutdowns. Hybridization of the existing hydropower was modeled with different options. The hybrid system proposed indicates that, when implemented, it would reduce fuel consumption from 222 to 23.2 L/day and emissions from 82.5 to 8.3 kg/year on average and increases system reliability. Simulated values of NPC, LCOE, and operating costs are appreciable. Despite mini-grid shortfalls, there is notably improved livelihood due to improved social and economic services.

Abstract:
Nowadays; Ethiopia is one of the countries which is under developing and one of the strategies to be used to develop the country is to explore and develop the sector of energy in Ethiopia. Our country Ethiopia needs to develop the rural electrification sectors in order to provide illumination to the population living in those rural remote areas for rapid development in different sectors like schools; health centers; business centers and administrative officers. Hence the current energy regime in Ethiopia, that is heavily reliant on the burning of biomass, has had major implications for the environment. There is a fast depletion of renewable sources that was used in the past for the generation of electricity and the difficulty in reachability of the grid supply to the remote villages was a big challenge faced. The best possible remedial measure in this scenario is to make use of the natural resources available to generate electricity. In an endeavourance towards this end, the paper has been formulated for the electrification of six selected remote Kebeles in Bambasi woreda. This kebeles are kinds of locality in which there are a tribal settlement of about 600 families each that do not have privilege of electrical energy supply. The present work focus on the feasibility studies carried out at the site for the assessment of mini hydro power plant potential of the site. The results of the study reveal that there is a huge potential at the site to develop a mini hydro power plant which would meet the energy demand of the tribal settlement and thereby improving their living condition. But the river is intermittent so that it is recommended to construct dam for the purpose of storage of water.

Abstract:
Mini hydro plants were first installed in Sri Lanka at the end of the 19th Century, to provide mechanical and dc power to the tea estates. By the middle of the 20th Century grid supplies had reached the tea factories and, by 1970, most of the mini hydro plants had fallen into disuse. In the 1980's a weak grid almost entirely dependent on hydro-electricity and a number of dry years, caused prolonged periods of power shortages and interruptions to the electricity supply. These occurred all over Sri Lanka and, in particular, in the rural areas where the tea estates were situated. This, among other reasons, lowered the quantity and quality of tea production, and caused considerable economic difficulties in a country whose main export is tea. Managers of the tea estates started to look for more reliable, stand-alone sources of power. A number of feasibility studies of mini hydropower were undertaken on the estates but very few led to plants being installed. This thesis contends that mini hydropower is an appropriate and needed source of energy on the tea estates in Sri Lanka. It looks at the history, politics, geography and hydrology of Sri Lanka in the context of their effect on hydropower development in Sri Lanka. It discusses the process of tea manufacture and the suitability of the use of mini hydropower as a source of energy in the factory, as a source of rural electrification for the estate workers and as a diversification by selling surplus to the Electricity Board. Previous feasibility studies in mini hydropower, both international and national, are considered and appraised. This information was mainly collected on extended field visits to Sri Lanka. Over twelve months was spent in the country gaining the knowledge and expertise that was embodied in software used to survey a considerable number of sites in the tea estates. The further knowledge gained in this surveying process is discussed, results are given and conclusions drawn which suggest a strategy and methodology for the expansion of the mini hydropower capacity and industry in the tea estates of Sri Lanka.

Abstract:
The three Mekong Basin riparian countries of Thailand, Vietnam and the Lao People's Democratic Republic (PDR), situated in South-East Asia, are experiencing many economic and political changes which are creating new opportunities for cooperation and development. This thesis argues that there is a large market for mini-hydropower equipment within Vietnam, and a large market for micro-hydropower plant in Thailand, Vietnam and the Lao PDR. It also contests that future developments will best be served by manufacturing much of the powerhouse equipment within the countries concerned, both in terms of the reduced cost of locally made equipment over foreign imports, and in the support which the local manufacturing base will provide in the form of in-country repair and maintenance facilities. The thesis describes the history and present day situation concerning small-scale hydro development in the three countries, taking into consideration the social, political and economic settings, as well as technological aspects. An assessment is made of the use of mini-hydropower and micro-hydropower equipment in the development of rural electrification, and the prospects for their future use are described in the context of each country's overall rural energy situation. The study assesses the skills and resources available for the manufacture of mini- and micro-hydropower equipment within the three countries with particular focus upon turbines and governors, though including a review of other electrical and mechanical equipment. Trends in the manufacture of hydropower equipment are highlighted and conclusions are drawn from the research with respect to the suitability of different types of hydropower equipment for manufacture in the region. Recommendations are made concerning future manufacture within each country, and ways in which to promote the local manufacture of equipment.

Abstract:
Water wheels are rotating hydraulic machines that were introduced thousands of years ago to generate energy from water. Gravity water wheels are driven by the weight of the water flow and a portion of the flow kinetic energy. In the last decades, due to the increasing diffusion of micro hydropower plants (installed power less than 100 kW), gravity water wheels are being recognized as attractive hydraulic machines to produce electricity. Unfortunately, most of the engineering knowledge on water wheels is dated back to the XIX century, with several gaps and uncertainty. Additional work is still needed to fully understand the power losses and the performance within water wheels, that could lead to further improvements in efficiency. The scope of the present thesis is the investigation and improvement of the performance of gravity water wheels. This aim was achieved using physical experiments to quantify water wheels performance under different hydraulic conditions, theoretical models to estimate and predict the efficiency, and numerical simulations to optimize the design. Undershot, breastshot and overshot water wheels were investigated, in order to give a wide overview on all the kinds of gravity water wheels. Sagebien and Zuppinger undershot wheels were investigated at Southampton University, under the supervision of prof. Gerald Muller, from October 2015 until April 2016. These two wheels differ based on the shape of the blades. The blades of Sagebien wheels are optimized to reduce the inflow power losses, while those of Zuppinger wheels are conceived to minimize the outflow power losses. The objective of the experiments was to understand which of the two designs is better in term of efficiency. The tests showed that the Sagebien type exhibits a more constant efficiency as a function of the flow rate and the hydraulic head than the Zuppinger type. The maximum efficiency (excluding leakages) was identified as 88%. Breastshot water wheels were investigated experimentally, theoretically and using numerical Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) methods at Politecnico di Torino. The maximum experimental efficiency was estimated as 75% using a sluice gate inflow. A vertical inflow weir was also investigated, and found to have a more constant efficiency versus the rotational speed of the wheel, but with similar maximum values. A theoretical model that was developed to estimate the power output, power losses and efficiency, had a discrepancy with the experiments of 8%. A dimensionless law was also developed to estimate the power output. Numerical CFD simulations were performed to understand the effects of the number and shape of the blades on the efficiency. The optimal number of blades was 48 for the investigated wheel, and the efficiency can be improved using a circular shape. The numerical discrepancy with experiments was less than 6%. Overshot water wheels were investigated using a similar approach as done for breastshot wheels, and were found to have a maximum experimental efficiency of 85%. A theoretical model was developed to estimate the power losses and the efficiency, in particular to quantify the volumetric losses at the top of the wheel, that is the fraction of the flow which can not enter into the buckets and that is lost. Then, numerical simulations will be started to try to improve the wheel efficiency, reducing the previous volumetric losses. More specifically, a circular wall around the periphery of the wheel was added to the original design, leading to a performance improvement up to 60%. The results of this work show that water wheels can be considered attractive hydropower converters.

Abstract:
A geração de energia hidrelétrica enfrenta uma crescente restrição a sua expansão, diretamente relacionada a fatores ambientais e da limitação de terrenos com potencial economicamente aproveitável. A partir deste fato, é relacionada uma possível fonte de energia hidrelétrica, resultante do aproveitamento dos potenciais presentes na rede de distribuição de água das cidades, ainda sem nenhum aproveitamento. O desenvolvimento desta fonte de energia se dá com a instalação de mini e micro centrais hidrelétricas nos condutos da rede distribuidora de água. Este trabalho tem por objetivo avaliar o potencial de aproveitamento hidrelétrico por mini e micro hidrelétricas por meio de técnicas de modelagem e de otimização, para agilizar e facilitar o procedimento de identificação dos potenciais e a instalação na rede de abastecimento. O trabalho leva em conta as diversas peculiaridades das redes de distribuição de água e dos equipamentos eletro-hidráulicos, discorrendo sobre a possível complementariedade da geração de energia durante os picos de consumo. Discorre também sobre a contribuição para a rede de distribuição elétrica, na logística e nos custos de implantação além de discutir a tipologia das turbinas capazes de aproveitar o potencial energético. É avaliado, com o auxilio de modelos hidráulicos e de otimização, o posicionamento das centrais geradoras na rede e os possíveis benefícios, restrições e impedimentos ao seu uso, desenvolvendo uma metodologia para facilitar a tomada de decisão quanto ao aproveitamento para geração, ou não, em redes diversas. A construção deste procedimento e ferramenta são desenvolvidos a partir do estudo de caso do sistema distribuidor de água do Município de Piquete no estado de São Paulo, Brasil.
Hydropower energy production is facing limitations in their capacity to grow due directly to environmental and space limitations, questioning the actual economic benefits that hydropower have always had compared to other energy sources. In order to face this problems and to propose a new technology, the study focus on the potential of hydropower generation in the water supply systems (WSSs) network that are yet to be studied. Developing this new technology means the introduction of mini and micro hydropower plants in the WSS network. This study intends to develop a methodology and evaluate mini and micro hydropower potential, adopting optimization and modeling tools to accelerate and facilitate the identification procedures of potential installation points and the possibility of implementing pressure controls in the form of turbines in the network. The study considers all WSS peculiarities and restrictions, evaluating the introduction of electro hydraulic equipment and their interference and complementarity when considering energy consumption and production that would make the installation feasible. There is also a discussion about how will this technique be implemented in the network without interfering in water supply, and the logistics, costs and how energy distribution issues can be treated, including turbines type and configuration and also the activation timetables. All these features will be linked and treated with an optimization method that can provide decision making easier, locating production units and evaluating benefits and restrictions imposed by the environment. The construction of this procedure will be applied in a case study in the Piquete municipality in São Paulo, Brazil.

In this Ph.D dissertation the model for selecting the optimal locations forsmall hydropower plants based on technical, economic and ecological criteriawas proposed. Its timing is not coincidental, as it appears at the momentwhen both the Republic of Serbia and the EU Member States are making astrong shift towards the production of electric power from renewable energysources. The main shortcoming in planning the construction of smallhydropower power plants is the model for determining their optimal location. Along with proposing a model for selecting the optimal location, the paperoffers a software tool developed during the research, the basic purpose ofwhich is to quickly determine the optimal locations for the construction ofsmall hydro power plants based on the above-mentioned criteria.

Abstract:
BC Hydro’s Water Use Planning (WUP) process is one of the world’s most comprehensive hydroelectric dam operational reviews and has served as a model to revise hydropower operating plans with the participation of an inclusive range of stakeholders, rights holders, and the use of up-to-date scientific information, that meets social and environmental goals alongside economic targets. In 2000, BC Hydro initiated a WUP process in the Jordan River watershed. This watershed hosts a wide diversity of water users, including active resource industry stakeholders (mining, forestry, and hydropower), Indigenous rights holders, and rural community citizens; which is representative of watersheds in British Columbia with established WUPs. BC Hydro finalized the Jordan River WUP in 2003, which focuses on establishing critical freshwater flows for fish habitat and achieving specific recreational values of the local community. However, numerous other issues still remain that were beyond the scope of the WUP process, including water quality concerns that were continually brought up by citizens during the consultative process of the WUP. In addition to these concerns, biological monitoring following the implementation of the WUP suggests that contamination from an inactive copper mine has affected and altered sensitive water quality parameters for a healthy Pacific salmon habitat in Jordan River. Yet, there has not been an extensive water quality study conducted that examines the spatial or seasonal water quality extents of the mining contamination in Jordan River, specifically copper. Consequently, fourteen years after the creation of the WUP, local advocates are still struggling to have their concerns heard by the entity responsible for freshwater flow, BC Hydro, alongside federal and provincial government agencies. Advocates are calling for the creation of a watershed-based group as a mechanism for having greater influence in water planning and governance processes. This study explores the research question: if and how has the WUP process contributed to creating watershed governance capacity? This social science thesis project employs a mixed-methods approach using both quantitative and qualitative data. The study includes a document review of relevant water governance literature and focuses on examining the freshwater quality of the Jordan River. Water quality samples were collected over a five-week period from five sites on the Jordan River beginning in September and concluding in October of 2015 during the most sensitive periods of salmon spawning activity in the lower reaches of the Jordan River. Spatial and seasonal water quality trends were identified, and analysis concluded that copper is the primary contaminate affecting the productivity of a healthy salmon habitat in the Jordan River. Acid mine drainage (AMD) processes were identified throughout the water quality data and are strongly influenced by the proximity of existing mine waste piles sourced from an abandoned copper mine, and unnatural anthropogenic flows from the three BC Hydro dams present in the Jordan River system. The final stage of the research project focuses on assessing the adaptive capacity in the watershed to address the issues of concern outlined in the WUP. There is a current movement to create watershed organizations that are formally supported through new legislation in British Columbia, but questions remain about the capacities of these watershed communities to sustain such a formal institution and if these watershed communities are ready to successfully implement a local watershed governance model. The Gupta et al. (2010) six adaptive capacity dimensions provide a logical framework to explore if these capacities are present such that it could be expected that local watershed organizations would be effective as society adapts to more watershed-based governance approaches. Thirteen semi-structured interviews were conducted from October 2016 to February 2017. Interviews and observational data focused on the WUP process and prospective and current members of the Jordan Watershed Round Table (JWRT). The research evaluated whether these six adaptive capacity dimensions are present in watershed communities that have been subjected to water management processes, specifically the WUP program. Overall, the research concluded that the WUP has contributed to some adaptive capacity for watershed governance in the Jordan River, specifically on building the adaptive capacity dimensions: variety, learning capacity, room for autonomous change, leadership, and resources within the JWRT.

Abstract:
The interest of those involved in hydroelectricity has been attracted by mini-hydro projects due to their minimal environmental impact and low installation cost. Besides, mini hydros can cooperate with an impressively wide extent of water-related infrastructure, offering a broad potential for investment. In the present chapter, the integrated solution of hydro implementation in water supply systems is presented. Thus, the benefits of a water-supply installation (with constant Q) are extended to energy production. However, defining the optimum operation of such a project is a complicated task, which may involve environmental, hydraulic, technical, and economical parameters. In the present chapter a novel approach is presented, the optimum management of mini hydros in a water supply system with the use of an optimization algorithm (i.e. Harmony Search Algorithm [HAS]). This approach is applied at a site in Northern Greece and is used as a case study of the present chapter.

Abstract:
We briefly discuss our income resources, or renewables, as they are often referred to, in chapters 1 and 3. These resources differ from our inherited resources in that they can potentially last for as long as civilization exists and beyond. We would be better off if we could live off our income, instead of relying on our inheritance that will some day be exhausted. While historically we survived on income resources for many millennia, those sources cannot support our current lifestyle, and they contribute only a very small portion to our total annual energy budget. Given the overall desirability of switching to income sources, in this chapter we review the status of different technologies for using them and what it would take for each one to become a substantial contributor. As we shall see, none of these technologies is currently economic, and they are not free from being potentially damaging to the environment when grown to the required scale. Income resources can offer a path toward sustainability if we are able to engineer the systems correctly without creating other problems along the way. With that in mind, we begin by enumerating our principal energy income resources: . . . Radiant energy from the sun, which also drives the wind and the water cycle, and provides the energy for plants to grow Heat energy from Earth Tidal energy derived from the moon’s gravitational attraction Wave and ocean-current energy . . . The radiant energy derived from the sun is by far the largest contributor (see chapter 3, box titled “Total Solar Flux”). It comes from a series of solar reactions that result in the fusion of hydrogen into helium. The sun’s radiant energy directly or indirectly spawns biomass, photovoltaic electricity, solar-thermal, and wind energy. It also results in derivative energy sources such as wave energy (from wind), ocean-current energy, and hydropower. In chapter 3 we briefly introduced these income resources and noted that the amount of solar radiation reaching the surface of Earth is around 23,000 CMO/yr.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the effects of the evolution of political institutions in Myanmar on Sino-Burmese relations. The chapter argues that this case stands as particularly powerful evidence for the book’s thesis; as the Burmese regime liberalized, opposition to Chinese influence, previously boiling under a lid of authoritarianism, bubbled to the surface. This has resulted in a weakening of the bonds between governments that had long been “blood brothers.” The chapter shows that under the ruling SPDC, the Chinese could rely on close government-to-government ties to gain support on important issues, such as China’s South China Sea claims, and Chinese firms could rely on politically-connected Burmese “cronies” to secure approval for and protection of their investments. Political reforms beginning in 2011 that witnessed the end to decades-long military rule saw a concomitant plunge in Chinese investment in Myanmar and delays and even cancellations of major projects by Chinese SOEs in Myanmar, such as the Letpadaung Copper Mine and the Myitsone Hydropower Project. The chapter concludes that the Myanmar case illustrates that the evolution of the political “rules of the game” in China’s bilateral partner are a form of political risk for China and its firms.

Abstract:
Abstract Renewable energy is the energy obtained from resources inexhaustible in the long term. Furthermore, in some countries, non-conventional renewable energy includes solar, wind, biomass, geothermal and mini-hydropower. The definition of mini-hydropower plants varies depending on the country. As an example, in Peru and Canada, mini-hydropower plants have different installing capacities, below 20MW and 50MW, respectively. Accordingly, this work (i) discusses the Energy Balance and challenges that renewable energies have to face on their way to the energy transition, (ii) highlights the forecast models to generate renewable energy in short-term energy planning. The historical data about the renewable energy resources and the energy produced have been obtained by COES. The R studio software was used for statistical analysis of renewable resources and electricity generation. Also, a forecast model was developed using a neural network to forecast renewable energy generation. The results show a strong correlation between hydro resources and non-conventional renewable energy resources. Finally, the data obtained from the renewable generation forecast model were used as input to carry out a short-term dispatch model using GAMS software to determine the forecast of daily marginal cost in SEIN.

Abstract:
The use of pumps as turbines (PAT) has gained importance in the recent years as a possible alternative to specifically developed turbine for mini/micro hydropower plants. The use of production pump for hydropower generation reduces the capital cost of the plant but the energy conversion efficiency can be remarkably lower. The paper analyses the performance of a production centrifugal pump running both in direct and reverse mode. The analysis calculates theoretically the behavior of the PAT under the best efficiency point and extends the investigation to other operating points using both a combined theoretical approach and CFD simulation under dynamic conditions. The effects of possible modifications to the initial design of the pump are investigated when running in turbine mode and their influence on the standard pump operation is also determined. Numerical simulation demonstrates that the impeller trimming leads to improvement in the PAT efficiency in some operating conditions. Conversely, the rotational speeds close to the values typical for the electric generator reduce the PAT performance. Finally, the modification of the impeller geometry at the turbine inlet increases the PAT efficiency but lowers the performance of the machine when running in pump mode.
