Modelling and Simulation of Small Scale Hydro Generation Systems

This book provides engineers, researchers and advanced students with the mathematical modelling, control and simulation tools needed for the successful design, long-term management and maintenance of a small scale hydro-power plant (HPP).

It also covers the hybrid operation with other small scale renewable power plants as well as the use of a storage system.

The book features case studies and test-based design, and all system components are modelled using the well-known state space form technique.
