Small Hydropower -- A transformational renewable and clean energy technology Presented by LIU Heng, Dr., Prof., DG International Centre on Small Hydro Power
SHP usually means installation < or = 10M. • In some countries, there are different definition, because of different supporting policies for SHP develpment • It varies from < 5M to 50M, e.g.: • China: 50M (Rural Hydropower) • Canada: 30M • USA: 15M • ICSHP, Norway, Brazil, Japan, Nigeria … 10M • Vietnam, Nepal, Argentine… 5M
SHP has been approved as one of very successful energy application. e.g.in China • By the end of 2010, about 45,000 SHP stations with total installed capacity 59,000 MW. The installation of SHP is over two Three-Gorges project • SHP is about 30% of total Hydro power (over 200,000 MW), National Total Power: 900,000 MW
SHP contribution and Function • SHP provides power guarantee for 1/2 of territory land, 1/3 counties (cities) and over 300 million rural people. • Especially in remote rural areas, The rate of electricity access to household is 99.6% in rural hydropower developed areas.
SHP is a transformational technology: clean, affordable • More than 100 turbine and generator manufacturers • Over 200 supplemental facilities manufacturers • In some city/prefectures, there are design institutes; in many counties, there are construction teams
ICSHP: • UNIDO consultative and implementing organization for SHP • Secretariat of International Network for SHP: 380 members worldwide • Secretariat of China’s Middle and Small Hydropower Manufacturer Association in China. • Four SHP pilot bases.
SHP technology is easily applied in and transformed to developing countries. • With UNIDO/GEF support: • Lighting-up Rural Africa • Shiwang’andu SHP in Zambia • 4 Pilot potentials in SL and Liberia • Application in LAC
