SMALL & MICRO HYDROPOWER

Small & Micro Hydropower

Select suitable units using existing waterways, head, flow and electricity needs.

Water Resource Assessment

Start with Head and Flow

01

Available Head

Assess net head from water levels, pipe routes and friction losses.

02

Available Flow

Review water supply, irrigation and process constraints, plus seasonal and hourly flow variations.

03

Power Requirements

Confirm target power, supply hours and grid-connected or standalone operation.

Water-based Energy Storage

How Water-based Energy Storage Works

Wind-powered pumps transfer water from a lower source to an elevated storage tank
Wind-powered pumping and elevated water storage concept. Click to view full size.
01

Pump with Renewable Power

Use available wind or solar electricity to drive pumps.

02

Store Water at Height

Pump water to an elevated tank to store potential energy.

03

Release Water to Generate Power

Water flows through piping and a micro hydro unit to convert potential energy to electricity.
