Hydro Systems

System sizing

 

Energy available in a body of water depends on the water's flow rate (per second) and the height (or head) that the water falls. The scheme's actual output will depend on how efficiently it converts the power of the water into electrical power (maximum efficiencies of over 90% are possible but for small systems 50% is more realistic). Hydro electric systems are generally divided into two categories, low and high head.

 

Reliable and efficient equipment - and sound advice - is available from a large number of experienced UK suppliers and consultants.
