This dissertation was written as a part of the MSc in Energy Systems at the International Hellenic University. All of the conventional energy sources (carbon, petroleum, etc.) have harmful effects to the environment (e.g. intensification of the greenhouse effect), because of the high amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) that they produce during their combustion and not only. Since these conventional supplies are eventually going to deplete, it will be good to turn our attention to alternative energy sources (renewables), like in this case to hydroelectric power.
The goal and scope of the present thesis is to describe the operation and the equipment of a small hydro plant that is situated on tributary of the river “Haliacmon” river in Greece. Also, the principal of the operation of a small hydro power plant is going to be described. Furthermore, a q-frequency diagram is going to be presented.
