Abstract
Small Hydro Power (SHP) plants have many advantages over large scale hydropower generation. SHP has been identified as a good alternative to conventional electricity generation for many developing countries around the world. Run-of-the river type SHP plants contain considerable economic advantages. However these are affected by various technical and economic challenges. In this paper an economic analysis and development of a small hydro power plant is presented.
