How technology can contribute to socio-economic development and environmental protection
Replacing traditional fuels with electricity can reduce air pollution, improve health, and reduce social burdens, such as firewood collection.
Feasibility study and operational needs
The head and flow of available water determine the amount of electricity that can be generated. When planning a hydroelectric power plant, it is necessary to pay attention to seasonal and annual differences in water availability.
What is small hydropower?
Small hydropower here refers to hydropower plants with an installed capacity of less than 10 MW. Hydropower plants are power plants that generate electricity by driving turbines and generators through the gravitational force of falling or flowing water.
