Аннотация

Hydroelectricity is the largest source of renewable energy. However, large hydroelectric power stations will no longer be built enough. But there is tremendous potential for small hydropower that is seen as a more suitable renewable energy source. Cameroon has also a great hydroelectric potential. This work presents a simple method of the feasibility studies of a Micro Hydroelectric Power Plant (MHPP) project, in the intention to contribute to its development in Cameroon. The study was supported by feasibility studies of the KEMKEN MHPP project. It is a project of 320 kW of installed power, where the Kaplan turbine is recommended, the investment cost evaluated at 212 486 656 FCFA with a payback period around 7 years. This work contains the necessary elements of the feasibility studies of a MHPP project in rural locality.
