1. Introduction Micro Hydropower is one of the most important technologies in the rural areas of Nepal. It is a vital system of infrastructure, mostly in mountainous and hilly regions. Micro Hydropower has become one of the best options for village electrification programmes mainly because this source is reliable for producing electricity near the village, where access to the national grid is difficult and costly. Micro Hydro is considered a renewable energy. Many countries have shifted their focus to developing renewable energy resources. Nepal also has been successful to harvest good opportunities to implement Micro Hydropower Projects as a part of efforts for developing renewable energy. However, the functional status of Micro Hydropower has yet to be very encouraging. Therefore, there are many challenges to be faced in Micro Hydropower infrastructure development. To achieve long term sustainability, it is necessary to increase the running duration of Micro Hydropower Plants. Experiences of concerned institutions and individuals had proved that sustainability of MHPs after installation depends on operation and regular maintenance. Smooth and sustainable running of MHPs require adequately qualified operators, managers, end users and other related trained technicians who can inspect the conditions, repair and replace simple parts, and overhaul of machines as recommended by manufacturers. They are desired to be able to change the damaged bearings, and repair and maintenance of electrical equipments after taking MH operation training. Realizing this fact, AEPC/NRREP and NMHDA jointly conducted Training on Micro Hydropower Plant Operation with the target to produce trained operators for MHPs established in different districts or to be established soon with AEPC support. Thus, Nepal Micro Hydropower Development Association with support from AEPC/NRREP has successfully organized Training on Micro Hydropower Operation in Kathmandu (Batch I) during 19 th June 10 th July, 2014 at Training Hall of Nepal Micro Hydropower Development Association, Teku, Kathmandu. We, thus, opine that such training programmes help bring out fruitful results on smooth and sustainable operation of MHPs. We also opine that imparting additional knowledge and skill to selected operators with an Advanced Level course which will also address their experience on the job and other relevant ideas regarding operation, repair and maintenance of the machines, equipment and structure of MHPs for further capability enhancement of the operators. Moreover, such trainings help to produce skilled and capable manpower for the uninterrupted operation of Micro Hydro System by developing the capacity of the persons dedicated in the operation of MHPs. 1

2. Course Design 2.1 Course Concept The course concept was simple and practical oriented, as most of the operators were less educated. The courses aim to provide the basic knowledge about the Micro Hydro Project and its operation. In addition, it is necessary to provide several aspects of Micro Hydro in simple and understandable way in order to cope with their level. The basic concept of the training was to provide sufficient knowledge for the sustainable and smooth operation of the scheme. The professionals with extensive practical experience were invited as resource persons with hope that the participants will be able to get the basic theoretical as well as several practical aspects including commonly occurring problems and their possible solutions. As around 75% of the participants were from already established MHPs and rest are from proposed schemes, the participants of latter segment were not aware about practical problems of MHP operation. The operators from running projects were able to share the problems they face. The problems participants unveiled were addressed with related resource persons and explained the cause of problems and its remedies. Courses were from civil, electrical, mechanical and socio-economic aspects of the schemes in general and operation, maintenance of the plant in particular as the 'Micro Hydro Operation Training' course is designed for those who have already involved or going to be involved in MHP plant operation. 2.2. Course Objective The overall objective of the training is to produce trained and capable manpower for the uninterrupted operation of Micro Hydro System by developing the capacity of the persons involved or to be involved in the operation of MHPs. The main objectives are: Impart adequate knowledge and skill for the smooth operation of the plant. Able to find out the simple faults and repair it properly Assist the participants in identifying the problems of micro hydro plants and provide them the necessary solution. Add the value of MH Plants by promoting the use of electricity for income generating microenterprise in rural communities. 2

2.3. Course Contents NMHDA has a large variety of legacy in training materials related to the MHP sector. The materials for operation training are more practical oriented. However, some theory classes are also provided to impart basic knowledge in mechanical and electrical subjects as well as different components of MHP. Also, discussion and feedbacks are involved to determine their knowledge and capacity. The main topics included in the course are: General: Introduction and function of MHP components. Safety Measures Identifications, uses and handling Electro-Mechanical tools Operation and maintenance work Collection and Discussion of participants problems (based on their experiences) Importance for Operators roles and responsibilities Log book maintenance CDM aspects and duties of Operators in these aspects Gender aspects in MHP Civil: Basic information as well as general repairing method on intake, canal, desilting basin, forebay, support piers, anchor block, powerhouse, and tailrace canal Mechanical: Trash rack, expansion joint, penstock pipe, turbine, protection and safety, importance of lubrication Assemble and disassemble of turbine Plant specification, head, flow and efficiency of machines, power calculation, reason of power loss etc Electrical: Theory as well as practical demonstration works on synchronous, induction generators, electronic load controller, transformer, Induction generator controller, motor control system, safety devices, trouble-shooting etc. Transmission/Distribution: Theory as well as practical works on transmission/distribution system and its accessories. Theory as well as Practical works on house wiring. Training Conclusion: 3

Group discussions, question/answer and solution by dissemination of experiences Collection of participants evaluation form (regarding course, classes) Evaluate the performance of the participant 2.4 Course Methodology The training methodology was entirely based on participants participatory approach. Emphasis had been given to the experience sharing and group discussion on the basis practical experiences. Reading materials were distributed to the participants and effort was made to make the training and learning more pragmatic. Laghu Jalabidyut Aayojana Talim Nirdeshika, a manual published by AEPC has been used as the training reference. It was tried to assess the level of understanding, interest, creation and curiosity of the participants. In general, the applied methodology consists of lecture on the related topic by the resource persons, illustration and demonstration of the practical work, question answer method, recitation method and individual practice on the given exercise, learning by doing, teamwork, discussions and evaluation. As most of the participants were from running Micro Hydro Schemes, it was necessary to provide introductory lectures rather than the experience sharing. Thus, the resource persons have also been prepared accordingly. Nevertheless, the effort has made to encourage the participants for their active participation and interaction. 2.5 Selection of Participants The training course has been executed for the local prospective operators of the micro hydro electrification projects supported by AEPC/NRREP. NRREP had selected the participants from respective Regional Service Centres. NMHDA had informed and nominated participants with the help of the RSCs. There were twenty five participants from fourteen districts i.e. Baglung, Bajhang, Bajura, Dhading, Gorkha, Ilam, Jajarkot, Kavrepalanchok, Nawalparasi, Okhaldhunga, Panchthar, Rolpa, Solukhumbu and Udaypur were enrolled in Batch I) 2.6. Course Duration The duration for the Micro Hydro operators training was only 22 days from 19 th June 10 th July, 2014. 2.7 Training Venue Training classes were conducted in the Training Hall of Nepal Micro Hydropower Development Association, Teku, Kathmandu. The practical classes were conducted at 4

Kathmandu Metal Industries, Bhaktapur, Nepal Yantra Shala, Patan Industrial State, Lalitpur, Preesu Electronics, Tahachal and Balaju School of Engineering & Technology, Balaju. The real project site visit was organized at Karamdanda MHP (17 kw), Mangaltar, Kavre. Participants who had not visited such project site/ workshops were highly satisfied, as they were able to observe the several features of the project site and the workplaces. 3. Training Activities Training course was conducted from 19 th June 10 th July, 2014, as per the schedule. The time distribution for the theoretical and practical sessions, discussions and evaluation as well as site visits of the course has been shown in the following pie charts.
