Demonstrating new methodologies and technology to reduce the LCOE for small, hydropower development
Advanced Technologies and Methodologies for Small Hydropower Development

Purpose, Objectives, & Integration
Project Purpose:• Promote cost effective, sustainable small hydropower through advanced
technologies & methodologies.• Reduce the LCOE to less than $0.07 per kWh.
• Capitalize on the undeveloped resource potential offered by sustainable, small hydropower
• Demonstrate the advanced project technologies and assessment of its cost, performance & reliability
Relation to Program Objectives:• Effectively transfer the technical and economic results of the project
based on real-world construction and operations to facilitate widespread adoption of this new technology with reduced costs, times, and risks to the industry.
• Demonstrate reliable, cost-effective, highly-efficient and flexible technology to capitalize on small scale hydropower opportunities previously unattainable.

Technical Approach
Additional Key Issues:• Refining Levelized Cost of Energy model for hydropower using the
innovative methodologies in construction and advanced technology.
• Providing publications that can be used to develop cost-models for future hydro projects where previously considered cost-prohibitive due to capital costs and/or low-income.
• ORNL will review and comment on the computer tools developed by CleanPower, that are based on the empiric data from model testing.
