What will I learn?
This Hydroelectric Engineer Course equips you with hands-on skills to evaluate run-of-river sites, estimate flow, head, and energy output, and choose turbines, intakes, and penstocks for dependable operation. You will learn to scale plants for off-grid villages, weigh costs against diesel generators, organise maintenance, and handle environmental, social, and licensing needs to deliver effective, rule-abiding small hydropower initiatives.
