Abstract

A methodology to predict the output performance of small hydro power using treated effluent in wastewater treatment plant has been studied. Existing plant located Kyunggi-Do were selected and the output performance characteristics for these plants were analyzed. As a result, it was found that the developed model in this study can be used to analyze the output characteristics for small hydro power in wastewater treatment plant. Additionally, primary design specifications such as design flowrate, capacity, operational rate and annual electricity production were estimated and discussed.
