Micro-hydro is a useful way of providing power to houses, workshops
or villages that need an independent supply. For many remote areas
beyond the reach of a national grid, micro-hydro is the only
economic option. Where flow is limited, but high heads are
available, the Pelton wheel is one of the most useful turbines. The
Micro-hydro Pelton Turbine Manual is written to enable the reader
to design and manufacture Pelton turbines with capacities from a
few hundred Watts to around 100kw, though much of the information
is relevant for larger units too. Aimed at readers with a general
engineering workshop background, the emphasis is on simple
technology, so that the turbines can be made in small workshops
with basic engineering facilities. More advanced processes are
discussed for those with access to better manufacturing facilities.
As well as detailing all the important aspects of design, the book
covers basic theory, turbine selection, manufacture, installation,
testing and problem-solving. The manual is well illustrated and
contains a comprehensive appendices, containing manufacturing
reference information and the derivation of equations used. Jeremy
Thake, a mechanical design engineer, has worked for the appropriate
technology organization, DCS, in Nepal for six years in micro-hydro
systems. He currently works for the renewable energy consultancy,
IT Power.
