Run-of-river hydro generation in presence of sub-daily source flow variations

Author

Listed:
  • Roy, Sanjoy

Abstract

The power output by a small hydropower generation unit (SHP) is conventionally estimated as a product of the net head, admitted flow, and a typical value of efficiency. In case of run of river (RoR) units however, sub-daily variability of stream flow together with consequent variation of efficiency make the conventional estimate open to errors.
