Micro-Hydro and Pico-Hydro Potential Assessment for Ungauged Sites in the South China Sea Islands

Abstract:

This paper proposes hydropower potential sites for several islands located in the South China Sea. The islands depend mainly on diesel-fuel for electricity generation. As a result, the generating company exposed to diesel high and unpredictable market prices, high operation and maintenance costs, and possible risk of fuel spills. Therefore, reconnaissance studies were conducted through topographic maps and hydrological studies in order to determine the potential sites suitable for development of micro-hydro and pico-hydro generation. The studies conducted for 14 islands in the South China Sea with a total of 51 investigated sites. The result indicates that 24 sites identified to have micro-hydro potential and 22 sites have pico-hydro potential.
