Low-head hydropower as a reserve power source for wind power
… study proposes an alternative hypothesis: that hydropower turbines installed at low-head dams can provide similar reserve power generation to support wind, thereby avoiding the externalities associated with fossil-fuel plants and conventional hydropower. Low-head dams, common across the United …

Hydrostatic Pressure Converters for the Exploitation of Very Low Head Hydropower Potential
Much of the world's available hydropower potential has been exploited, and within the western world attention is increasingly being focussed on hydropower sites with very low head differences. These are sites where the vertical distance through which water falls is less than five metres, and remain …

Low head hydropower : a performance improvement study for Archimedes Screw turbines using mathematical modelling
… of the present MSc by research is to study the low head hydro power technologies, focusing on the use of Archimedes Screw, as hydro turbine, for electricity production and suggest potential design improvements with proper use and installation guidelines, intending to increase the produced energy …

A Study of Low Head Hydropower Using a Siphon System and Conversion to Air Pressure.
… technique for converting the energy available at low head (2m) hydro sites into an air flow that could be used to generate electricity. After giving a rationale for the uses of this design at the many available sites in the U.K., a brief history of the development of water power and of the more …

Analysis and design of a new updraft free-exit-flow low-head hydropower turbine system
<p>A new updraft free-exit-flow low-head hydropower turbine system is designed to enhance tailrace water quality, to minimize fish mortality in turbine flow passage, to improve turbine mechanical performance, and to reduce costs and time of hydropower development. This study applies the …

Can run-of-river hydropower meet the needs of the north? A case analysis of the Albany River watershed
… in northern Ontario to provide run-of-river hydropower (RHP) and determines the feasibility of supplying 100% of a remote community’s needs with local hydropower. This research expands the knowledge of river energy potential and the use of small-scale RHP in northern Ontario, Canada to …
