HYDROHELP – EXTENDED PROGRAMS

Five additional HydroHelp programs are available for purchase. These modules help hydro engineers develop a detailed preliminary cost estimate for a site by providing expert advice throughout the design-cost process. Once the type of turbine has been selected with HydroHelp 1.4, users can proceed to the next series of programs.

The programs all assume the use of surface power plants:

HydroHelp 2.4 for sites equipped with Francis turbines.
HydroHelp 3.4 for sites equipped with Impulse turbines
HydroHelp 4.4 for sites equipped with Kaplan turbines
HydroHelp 5.2 for pump-turbines used in underground power plants
HydroHelp 6.2 for Francis turbines used in underground power plants
