Synopsis

Hydropower Plants: A Contemporary Guide for Hydropower Plants in the Global Scope presents a complete overview of all aspects of hydroelectric power engineering. With a focus on unifying technical implementation with environmental and geopolitical issues, it guides readers to the best design and construction methods for each project. The book explains how to reduce the risk of unreliable and underestimated performance in the final construction of hydropower plants by balancing the complex connections between civil, mechanical, and hydrological aspects. The chapters - which each cover a key area of hydropower - address the current state of the art, the essential problems of each area, and offer practical solutions and case studies from industry.

This book offers hydropower professionals and students of civil, mechanical, and hydraulic engineering with a contemporary guide to all aspects of hydropower plants from planning to construction.
