This book presents the “complete” methodology for the Step-by-Step Hydroelectric Power Plants Design. The author is originating from Brazil, a developing country with a wide hydrographic network. The first edition was published in Spanish language in São Paulo in 2015.
It is important to highlight that the author “tried” to observe all the recommenda- tions contained in ICOLD’s bulletins that refer to the theme.
It should be made clear that, as a principle, the basic concepts of all disciplines involved in these projects must be understood by the technicians of the project teams, each one in their respective area, as well as by the professionals of the construction companies of these plants.
