Micro Hydro- Harness your Watercourse - revised

An introduction to the concept of micro hydro power generation focusing on high head, low flow, stand alone power systems which are the simplest types of system to install in Ireland.  Rob will describe and explain suitable locations and the basic components of a small stand alone hydro system. The course has been revised to include information about low head microhydro and to cover grid connected systems.

A visit to a small working hydro system near Manorhamilton is planned in the afternoon so please bring wellies and rain gear.
