28/3/19: HPNET Webinar “Mini-Grid Reliability – The Role of Training Centers for Micro/Mini Hydropower”

The Hydro Empowerment Network, in partnership with WISIONS and Energypedia, is introducing a new quarterly webinar series on mini-grids.
Join the first edition on 28 March 2019, 11:00 am CET – REGISTER NOW!

 

Renewable energy mini-grids are a cost-effective and reliable solution for energy access. Within the technologies available for mini-grids, micro and mini hydropower has added advantages. Its techno-economic characteristics, such as lower levelised cost of electricity, per kilowatt cost, and no need for battery storage, make it economically viable for grid interconnection and productive end use applications.

Micro and mini hydropower (MHP) implementation involves technical expertise in hydrology, civil works, electro-mechanical, electrical, and electronics. Thanks to the pioneers of knowledge transfer for small-scale hydropower, comprehensive and frequent training was made available in the 1990s to practitioners in the global south. While such training is rare in the present-day scenario, the earlier efforts led to the creation of local experts who have since established local training centers. The Southeast Asia region particularly benefits from micro hydropower training centers.

This webinar – the first in a series of four webinars – will feature the following training centers that provide local capacity building for the development, operation, and maintenance of community-based micro hydro projects in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines:

  • Tonibung Center for Renewable Energy and Appropriate Technology (CREATE), Malaysia
  • ASEAN Hydropower Competence Centre (HYCOM), Indonesia
  • SIBAT Center for RE and Appropriate Technology (CREATech), Philippines
Register now for this first webinar on Thursday, 28 March 2019, 11:00 am CET.
