Hi Ghanashyam,
Thanks for your reply. Can you expand on your statement that Pumps as turbines do have a few drawbacks that one needs to be aware of? Besides the fact that they cannot be run at partial flow efficiently what are some of the other drawbacks.

There are many sites in Canada with this system that have been in operation for many years. I have seen many micro-hydropower systems during my work, I am firm believer in the pump-as-turbine for micro-hydropower. However, it does have few drawbacks one needs to be aware of. Depending on the site it is cost effective and efficient. Ghanashyam [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
