The Micro-Hydro Centre has been carrying out research into low-cost equipment for small-scale hydro-electric plants since 1985. In particular, they have identified an induction motor used as a stand-alone generator provides good reliability at low cost. They are also researching the use of cheap, readily available standard pumps as turbines. For very low-head sites, work is being undertaken to design a low-cost turbine suitable for local manufacture in developing countries.
