1 Sensitivity Analysis for Small Hydropower Plant (SHP) Adriana Catanase, William Phang 1

2 Agenda SBI/SCG Present and future of Small Hydro Power Plants valuating a small hydro project Small Hydro project structure quipment Selection lectricity Production conomic Model Sensitivity 2

3 Introduction As part of ensuring a sustainable energy future, SBI develops and invests in carbon emission projects under the UN Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) through SBI Carbon Solutions We bring value to projects from both a technical and commercial perspective, so that the full carbon credit potential of the asset is realised 3

4 Small Hydro Present and future Contribution Worldwide installed capacity of SHP is 61GW. SHP in urope is the second highest contributor; 68% uropean Commission s Renewable nergy Roadmap identifies small hydro power as an important ingredient in U s future energy mix; SHP is highly efficient, reliable and a proven technology; 20, % 20,000 urope is a market leader in SHP technologies; urope 6.1% North America 2.7% South America 0.5% 0.4% Africa Asia Australia With different development programmes and incentive schemes for renewable generation, small scale hydro power plants are of interest for developers and investors. (SHA) 4

5 valuation Process of Small Hydro Scheme Identification of a site with change in elevation over a relatively short distance; valuation of the flow rate available for hydro plant and the annual electricity production; Preliminary evaluation of the plant costs; Preliminary evaluation of plant economics based on possibilities to finance the project, government support, tax exemption and incentives; Review of the planning process and regulatory requirements. 5

6 Successful project Investment Cost Operation and Maintenance Cost Revenues from lectricity Production 6

9 quipment selection Suitable selection of hydro turbine for specific site is the key to success; General diagrams are quoted in International Standards or are supplied by turbine manufacturer; Specific speed concept tend to be used in the selection; Unit expected efficiency could be a choice parameter. 9

10 quipment selection MULTI JT PLTON TURBIN Very flat efficiency curve and high part load efficiency; No major concern on part load vibrations, cavitation and no axial thrust; For load rejection, flow can be diverted from the runner with deflectors, resulting in low pressure rise in the penstock; FRANCIS TURBIN High peak efficiency, ~ 3% higher than Pelton but unable to operate at low flows; Suffers from higher part load vibrations, cavitation (within acceptable limits for modern designs) and variation of axial thrust; High pressure rise in the penstock during the closing time of guide vane and runaway characteristics. Surge tank or pressure relief valve needed; 10
