A historical survey of low-head hydropower generators and recent laboratory based work at the University of Salford (1989)
Thesis
Bassett, D. A historical survey of low-head hydropower generators and recent laboratory based work at the University of Salford. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

All life depends upon water. For man, however, water can supply the power necessary to relieve him from the drudgeries of life and give the time and means to enrich his existence beyond the bounds set by the mere need to survive. Large scale hydr... Read More about A historical survey of low-head hydropower generators and recent laboratory based work at the University of Salford.

Assessment and design of small-scale hydro-electric power plants (1988)
Thesis
Jones, I. Assessment and design of small-scale hydro-electric power plants. (Thesis). University of Salford

Appraisal and design of small-scale hydro power plants requires a knowledge of hydraulics, hydrology, civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering, and basic economics. Further, small hydro is site specific in nature and marginal from an economic vi... Read More about Assessment and design of small-scale hydro-electric power plants.

The optimal selection of turbine-generators for tidal power projects and the optimization of their operation (1988)
Thesis
Balls, M. The optimal selection of turbine-generators for tidal power projects and the optimization of their operation. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

This thesis describes the development of a suite of computer programs designed to evaluate the optimum operating strategy for turbine-generators installed in a proposed tidal power barrage. The computer models are of the single-tide type but have... Read More about The optimal selection of turbine-generators for tidal power projects and the optimization of their operation.
