This book is devoted to small hydropower systems of capacity ranging from hundred watts to hundred kilo watts and is named as micro-hydropower systems. Micro-hydropower systems contain a number of devices including turbines, generators, voltage converters/inverters, voltage and frequency regulators etc used for the conversion of hydropower into electricity of standard voltage and frequency. Development and implementation of micro-hydropower systems is possible in many countries that have some hydropower resources. Micro-hydropower systems would be very useful especially in mountain...
