In order to attend to the current energetic demand growth in our country and in order to obtain greater availability of power generation, is essential the utilization of small hydro-electric power plants (in Portuguese, ...

The sizing of a Francis type hydraulic rotor is complex and requires knowledge of principles and theories applied to turbochargers. This paper presents the study of the necessary steps to converge to the design of the ...

This paper presents an analysis of a PCH (Small Hydroelectric Power Plant, monogram in portuguese language) impact on distribution network voltage regulation. In the beginning is exposed generation view such as distributed ...

This study analyzes projects of Small Hydroelectric Plants from an economic and financial perspective. To this end, the research aimed to understand, at first, the technical concepts that characterize such enterprises, the ...

This work presents a tridimensional modeling of reduced scale physical model of a concrete SHP (Small Hydro Plant). We simulated the transient thermal analysis with ANSYS®. The layered building process is represented using ...
