 U.S. dominated the North America small hydropower market size, with installed capacity
of 6.98 GW in 2015. Regulatory compliances by FERC to encourage renewable energy
production accompanied by need to supply electricity in non-grid connectivity areas should
positively influence market growth.
To build a SHP plant it is essential to have an available & sustainable water stream within
few hundred feet from the energy consumers.
Line stability, high lighting intensity, load shedding, inadequate equipment to compatible
with old infrastructure may hinder small hydropower industry evolution. Another challenge is
the existing substation, where the plant can be interconnected owing to houses and buildings
are built nearby with no provisions was made for expansion.
Schemes Types
Run of River Schemes
Integrated in Existing Water Infrastructure
Hydropower generation relies on water flow and head to generate energy, SHPP can be
installed in any system where these factors are available. It includes streams, rivers, water
network where pipes supply water flow to head.
