The head losses due to the trash rack in low-head hydro power plants can be significant and has a strong influence on the cost effectiveness of the plant. The aim of this work is to investigate the head losses of a trash rack with the aid of numerical simulation. Therefore not only the flow at the trash rack will be calculated but also the complete...
The main objective of this study was to investigate whether the geothermal utilization has a future in Latvian conditions. For Latvia utilization of renewable energy sources, the same like for any of 10 candidates to join European Union, is especially actual. Moreover use geothermal energy as additional energy source that is independent of imported...
Historically, Reinstadt has been the site of 8 watermills, which is a sure sign of a useable hydropower potential. The project comprises the following tasks: Construction of a hydropower plant to demonstrate the economic efficiency of hydropower development even on a micro scale; Use of the plant as a demonstration plant, especially in the German s...
