Title: Installing micro-hydro in the developing nations

Journal Article · · Alternative Sources Energy; (United States)
OSTI ID:6895685

The difficulties encountered in installing a micro-hydroelectric power system in Korupun, a mission station/community located in the highlands of Irian Jaya, Indonesia are discussed. Initial construction resulted in the completion of a diversion structure, a 400 ft. power canal, a settling pond, intake works and a power house foundation. The site itself would use less than minimum stream-flow, a 900 ft. penstock and 150 ft. of net effective head to produce 12 kilowatts of electricity.
