Steps in the micro-hydro series : understanding micro-hydro
Abstract
"Micro-hydro involves a large range of system sizes, from a 50-watt system powering an electric fence to a 100-kW system selling electricity to a utility. Like other renewable energy technologies, micro-hydro can be used with a grid-connected or an off-grid, battery-based system. This module focuses on micro-hydro systems that are designed to offset energy consumption in a home, farm or ranch, not the sale of electricity for profit. If you have an interest in larger systems designed to sell electricity, contact your local extension office or electric cooperative for more information."--First page.
