The current dissertation is about the techno - economical evaluation of a Small Hydroelectric Power Plant (< 10MW) in Greece.
It aims at identifying all steps of the licensing procedure of α Small Hydro Power Plant. Furthermore this thesis can be used as a model for the licensing and technical evaluation study of a Hydro Plant in Greece. Besides there is a gap of such bibliography in the country. The outcome of the study will provide also information that can be used for deciding to bid or not for the purchase of an SHPP and what a profitable price could be.
Furthermore, this thesis proves that the technical part of the operation of a hydro plant and more specifically its operational efficiency is not a priority for many Hydropower producers in the country.
