Abstract (EN)

Small-scale hydropower is widely used recent years because of their cost-effective and reliable energy technologies, short construction period and providing clean electricity generation. Hydropower design requires both hydrologic and hydraulic studies to estimate the design discharge of a project, and determine the dimensions of hydropower elements.A computer software is developed to help engineers for hydrologic and hydraulic design of mini hydropower plants in this study. Hydrologic design section can estimate the unit hydrograph by Rational, Snyder and Synthetic unit hydrograph methods. Hydraulic design section can compute the dimensions of ground intake, weir, stilling basin, headrace, settling basin, forebay and penstock. Developed software having independent sections can be used for the users to design some other hydraulic structures for hydrologic and hydraulic purposes besides hydropower plants.
