This paper examines the main technologies that have been developed for mini-hydropower generators. A quick overview of hydraulic turbines and their energetic characteristics is given and different generator solutions are analyzed. The different technologies being considered include synchronous and induction machines, variable and fixed speed systems, grid-connected (direct-on-line) and converter-based solutions. A simple comparison for different generator combinations is presented.

Abstract
This paper examines the main technologies that have been developed for mini-hydropower generators. A quick overview of hydraulic turbines and their energetic characteristics is given and different generator solutions are analyzed. The different technologies being considered include synchronous and induction machines, variable and fixed speed systems, grid-connected (direct-on-line) and converter-based solutions. A simple comparison for different generator combinations is presented.File in questo prodotto:
