Abstract
A methodology to evaluate the performance analysis for micro hydropower sites has been studied. It consists of two main parts; flow duration function which can describe micro hydropower sites and performance analysis to estimate the output characteristics of micro hydropower plants. The output performance characteristics for Magok stream was analyzed, using developed model. Also, primary design specifications such as design flowrate, installed capacity, operational rate and annual electricity production were estimated and dicussed. Additionally, it was found that the developed model in this study is useful tool to estimate feasibility assessment for micro hydropower sites.
