Abstract(s)
Pico-hydro power generation has a considerable
untapped potential, able to contribute to the increased energy
demand whilst ensuring a low environmental impact. The
integration of these systems into microgrids is an emerging
solution for the electrification of remote regions and also for selfsustainable
power systems. The integration of cheap and wide
spread technologies to interface small capacity hydro power
systems with the grid has become essential in order to enable the
exploitation of small rivers and shallows reservoirs resources
among many other applications such as in water supply systems.
This paper presents a design procedure to integrate pico-hydro
generators into the grid using conventional and widespread
photovoltaic inverters.
