It requires:
Annual Cash flows over many years An account for the time effect on the value of money Determination of the value of the investment in terms of todays Money NPV The return needs to be compared to the fixed return of the other investment to determine which is most suitable
Support
Each Group has a academic advisor General support is given by a team of active and retired externals
Duration
The project is 16 contact weeks, spanning early-Oct to mid-Feb

MOTOROLA: Pico-Hydropower
Project Objective Design of a pico-hydropower system (under 1.5 kW) to power a mobile telephone base-station in developing countries Currently expensive diesel generators are used renewable power should be cheaper and more environmentally friendly
MOTOROLA: Pico-Hydropower
Many conflicting factors
More civil works more reliable water flow smaller system overall Complex electronic control higher cost but higher system efficiencies Simplified turbine runner lower cost but reduced efficiency
Considerations include:
Site Selection Dam Materials and Weir Orientation Turbine Housing Turbine Runner Electrical Generator Battery System
Cost Performance
