Most of the components of a dam-free micro-hydropower system are identical to dam-associated systems and include intake and screen, penstock, turbine, generator and interconnection. The major difference between a dam-associated and a dam-free system is the intake structure; so let's look at that first.
Jan Borchert, Current Hydro Microhydrony.org is dedicated to informing about the viability of micro-hydropower as an attractive renewable energy technology for some of the 6,600+ non-powered dams located across New York State. With this blog post series and the assessment behind it, we are exploring the feasibility of generating electricity using natural elevation changes without […]
