Sites & Solutions
Medium-head Francis Container Power Solution (FCPS) will be exploited with the structurally simple and standardised Francis Container concept.
Sites with a lower head difference can be exploited by run-of-river hydropower using the innovative Hydro Shaft Power Solution (HSPS).
Besides the demonstration activities, Hydro4U will also include planning activities to expand the focus of the project, both regionally and in terms of content.
Check out the Web-based Decision Support System developed by Hydro4U partner BOKU to detect potential small-scale hydropower sites.
Impact & Results
The high ambitions of Hydro4U can only be achieved when the project generates impact. The international, transcontinental network of partners within Hydro4U can generate this impact, as smart, innovative technical concepts are demonstrated in close cooperation with local partners. The innovative actions from Hydro4U generate an overall economic impact in the EU and Central Asia.
Hydro4U technical solutions serve as a role model for future small-scale hydropower projects in the different countries in order to establish long-term cooperation’s between Europe and Central Asia.
