In the context of the rational exploitation of alternative or integrative sources, small scale hydraulic energy takes considerable and renewed interest from more and different points of view: the high energy density, the land diffusion of a lot of unexploited resources, the availability in this sector of a well known technology, and the continuous and often very fast rising fossil fuels prices. In addition, these micro hydro plants can be easily inserted in irrigation or water distribution projects, taking advantage of lower costs. In this paper particular attention is focused on peculiarities of the technical and economic feasibility study and the design of an ultra-low head micro hydroelectric power plant for a farm holiday centre also aimed at didactic ecological activities.

Abstract
In the context of the rational exploitation of alternative or integrative sources, small scale hydraulic energy takes considerable and renewed interest from more and different points of view: the high energy density, the land diffusion of a lot of unexploited resources, the availability in this sector of a well known technology, and the continuous and often very fast rising fossil fuels prices. In addition, these micro hydro plants can be easily inserted in irrigation or water distribution projects, taking advantage of lower costs. In this paper particular attention is focused on peculiarities of the technical and economic feasibility study and the design of an ultra-low head micro hydroelectric power plant for a farm holiday centre also aimed at didactic ecological activities.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
