WEE4261 Hydropower Engineering

The course aim to provide the basic understanding of water turbines. This module covers further the design equations and illustrative examples of such hydraulic structures. It gives also an explicit understanding of hydropower generation and energy analysis. Having successfully completed this module, students should apply all procedures required for a complete feasibility study of a mini-hydropower project: Technical feasibility (or design), financial feasibility (or cost implications of the project), social feasibility and EIA of the project).
