Structural model of the micro hydro power plant calculation algorithm based on the hydrological parameters of small watercourses of mountain rivers in central Asia

Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan are the two countries in Central Asia that have a huge reserve of hydro resources of the region. It is important to recognize the significance of the part played by the micro-hydropower plants (HPP) in the electric power generation in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan from the point of view of sustainable economic development. This study presents a structural model and methodology of choice of a feasible type of micro-HPP using the developed algorithm for calculation of hydro turbines characteristics based on the hydrological characteristics of small and shallow watercourses located in Central Asian countries, such as Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. Based on this model, the software Calculation and choosing the type of hydro turbines for micro HPP’s has been developed. Depending on the load, a consumer can choose one of the suggested types of micro-hydroelectric power plants to meet his requirements. When choosing the type of micro-hydroelectric power station, a consumer should also take into account the factor of the seasonality of the water level, the constancy and speed of the water, and the volume of river water, since in some places the water freezes in winter. MicroHPPs gained recognition as a good alternative to traditional power generation for many developing countries around the world.
