Technical Guidelines for the Development of Small Hydropower Plants – Units

Foreword
The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is a specialized agency under the United
Nations system to promote globally inclusive and sustainable industrial development (ISID). The relevance of
ISID as an integrated approach to all three pillars of sustainable development is recognized by the 2030 Agenda
for Sustainable Development and the related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which will frame United
Nations and country efforts towards sustainable development in the next fifteen years. UNIDO’s mandate for
ISID covers the need to support the creation of sustainable energy systems as energy is essential to economic
and social development and to improving quality of life. International concern and debate over energy have
grown increasingly over the past two decades, with the issues of poverty alleviation, environmental risks and
climate change now taking centre stage.

INSHP (International Network on Small Hydro Power) is an international coordinating and promoting
organization for the global development of small hydropower (SHP), which is established on the basis of
voluntary participation of regional, subregional and national focal points, relevant institutions, utilities
and companies, and has social benefit as its major objective. INSHP aims at the promotion of global SHP
development through triangle technical and economic cooperation among developing countries, developed
countries and international organizations, in order to supply rural areas in developing countries with
environmentally sound, affordable and adequate energy, which will lead to the increase of employment
opportunities, improvement of ecological environments, poverty alleviation, improvement of local living and
cultural standards and economic development.
UNIDO and INSHP have been cooperating on the World Small Hydropower Development Report since year
2010. From the reports, SHP demand and development worldwide were not matched. One of the development
barriers in most countries is lack of technologies. UNIDO, in cooperation with INSHP, through global expert
cooperation, and based on successful development experiences, decided to develop the SHP TGs to meet
demand from Member States.

These TGs were drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.
org/directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of these TGs may be subject to patent rights.
UNIDO and INSHP shall not be held responsible for identifying any such patent rights.

Part 2: Hydro Turbine Generator

Introduction
Small Hydropower (SHP) is increasingly recognized as an important renewable energy solution to the
challenge of electrifying remote rural areas. However, while most countries in Europe, North and South
America, and China have high degrees of installed capacity, the potential of SHP in many developing countries
remains untapped and is hindered by a number of factors including the lack of globally agreed good practices
or standards for SHP development.

These Technical Guidelines for the Development of Small Hydropower Plants (TGs) will address the current
limitations of the regulations applied to technical guidelines for SHP Plants by applying the expertise and
best practices that exist across the globe. It is intended for countries to utilize these agreed upon Guidelines
to support their current policy, technology and ecosystems. Countries that have limited institutional and
technical capacities, will be able to enhance their knowledge base in developing SHP plants, thereby attracting
more investment in SHP projects, encouraging favourable policies and subsequently assisting in economic
development at a national level. These TGs will be valuable for all countries, but especially allow for the
sharing of experience and best practices between countries that have limited technical know-how.

The TGs can be used as the principles and basis for the planning, design, construction and management of
SHP plants up to 30MW.

• The Terms and Definitions in the TGs specify the professional technical terms and definitions commonly
used for SHP Plants.

• The Design Guidelines provide guidelines for basic requirements, methodology and procedure in terms
of site selection, hydrology, geology, project layout, configurations, energy calculations, hydraulics,
electromechanical equipment selection, construction, project cost estimates, economic appraisal,
financing, social and environmental assessments—with the ultimate goal of achieving the best design
solutions.

• The Units Guidelines specify the technical requirements on SHP turbines, generators, hydro turbine
governing systems, excitation systems, main valves as well as monitoring, control, protection and DC
power supply systems.
• The Construction Guidelines can be used as the guiding technical documents for the construction of SHP
projects.

• The Management Guidelines provide technical guidance for the management, operation and maintenance,
technical renovation and project acceptance of SHP projects.
