Small Hydroelectric Engineering Practice is a comprehensive
reference book covering all aspects of identifying, building, and
operating hydroelectric schemes between 500 kW and 50 MW. In this
range of outputs there are many options for all aspects of the
scheme and it is very important that the best options are chosen.
As small hydroelectric schemes are usually built against a limited
budget it is extremely important that the concept design is optimum
and every component is designed to maximise the benefi t and
minimise the cost. As operating costs are often a high proportion
of the income it is very important to make sure that everything is
designed to be simple, reliable and long lasting. The book is based
on the experience gained over 45 years on the overall and detailed
design, construction and commissioning of more than 30 small
hydropower schemes. It includes contributions from experts in the
field of intakes, water diversion structures, geology, canals,
painting and other aspects of hydropower development. It is
intensely practical with many drawings and photographs of schemes
designed and commissioned by Leyland Consultants and others. There
are also sections on preparing specifi cations, tender assessment
and operation and maintenance. The book includes a CD with
spreadsheet programs for analysing aspects of small hydropower
development and many arrangement drawings and detail designs for
gates, penstocks, electrical systems and control systems. Typical
specifi cations for generating plant are also included. The
spreadsheets will be useful during the feasibility stage and the
drawings will enable designers to scale the designs as needed for
their own projects. Consultants, developers, designers, builders
and operators of small hydroelectric schemes will find this book
invaluable..
