Experimental study of impulse turbines and permanent magnet alternators for pico-hydropower generation

Creator:

Cobb, Bryan R.

Abstract:

Increasing access to modern forms of energy in developing countries is a crucial component to eliminating extreme poverty around the world. Pico-hydro schemes (less than 5-kW range) can provide environmentally sustainable electricity and mechanical power to rural communities, generally more cost-effectively than diesel/gasoline generators, wind turbines, or solar photovoltaic systems....
