Section two gives the context for the study including the definition of a set of hydroelectric project development options as background to related discussions of rehabilitation later in the report. Section three provides an overview of the contents of this report. Section four discusses the development and application of an assessment tool to facilitate the rapid assessment of regional hydropower inventories. This assessment tool has been applied to a data base and inventory of generating station information in the African and Central American regions to identify possible candidates for rehabilitation. The characteristics of the two inventories are outlined in the section and details of the approach and the results of the application of the tool to the two regions are given in annex A. Section five presents a screening-level economic assessment model which quantifies potential costs and benefits associated with hydropower rehabilitation, concluding with generally accepted economic parameters. Details of the development of the economic model are given in annex B. Section six summarizes the application of the economic model to the two data base and inventory of generating station information for the two regions (Africa and Central America). The application of the economic model is not intended to provide site-specific economic parameters for each station since there is insufficient information in the data base for this. The objective of modeling is to provide an order-of magnitude market assessment of the potential for rehabilitation based on the limited data available in the data base. Section seven presents a summary of the important elements of a number of case studies involving historical rehabilitation and expansion projects. The section is the source of a list of overall lessons learned which is presented in the conclusions section. Section eight is a summary of issues which covers the spectrum of Incentives to Barriers associated with the rehabilitation of hydro projects under three broad categories: technical, financial, and environmental or institutional.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAIR FLOWAPPROACHAVAILABILITYBALANCEBASICBATTERIESBENEFITS OF HYDROPOWERBEST PRACTICESBUSINESSESCANALSCAPABILITYCAPACITY FACTORCAPITAL EXPENDITURESCAPITAL INVESTMENTCLIMATE CHANGECOMPONENTSCONFIGURATIONSCONTACT INFORMATIONCOPYINGCOPYRIGHTCUSTOMIZATIONDAMDAMSDECISION SUPPORT TOOLDISTRIBUTION OF ENERGYDISTRIBUTION SYSTEMSE-MAILEFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTELECTRIC POWERELECTRIC POWER PLANTSELECTRICAL EQUIPMENTENERGY GENERATIONENERGY PRICESENERGY PRODUCTIONENERGY SOURCESENERGY SUPPLYENGINEERINGENGINEERING DESIGNEQUIPMENTFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONFLOW CHARTFRANCIS TURBINEFRANCIS TURBINESFUELGENERATING CAPACITYGENERATION CAPACITYGENERATION SYSTEMSGOVERNMENT ENTITIESGRAPHICAL REPRESENTATIONHEADHEADSHEATHEAT TRANSFERHELP DESKHYDRAULIC TURBINEHYDRAULIC TURBINESHYDRO ASSETHYDRO GENERATINGHYDRO GENERATING PLANTSHYDRO PLANTHYDRO PLANTSHYDRO POWERHYDRO POWER PLANTHYDRO PROJECTSHYDROELECTRIC ENERGYHYDROELECTRIC FACILITIESHYDROELECTRIC PLANTHYDROELECTRIC PLANTSHYDROELECTRIC PROJECTHYDROELECTRIC PROJECTSHYDROELECTRIC RESOURCESHYDROELECTRIC STATIONHYDROELECTRIC STATIONSHYDROLOGICAL CONDITIONSHYDROLOGICAL DATAHYDROLOGYHYDROPOWERHYDROPOWER ASSETSHYDROPOWER CAPACITYHYDROPOWER INVESTMENTSHYDROPOWER PLANTHYDROPOWER PLANTSHYDROPOWER PROJECTHYDROPOWER PROJECTSHYDROPOWER REHABILITATIONHYDROPOWER SCHEMEHYDROPOWER STATIONINDEXINGINSPECTIONINSTALLATIONINSTALLATIONSINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINVENTORIESINVENTORYIRRIGATIONKAPLAN TURBINELARGE HYDRO SCHEMESLICENSESLOAD PATTERNSMACROSMAINTENANCE COSTSMANUFACTURINGMARKET OPPORTUNITIESMATERIALNEW MARKETNEW TECHNOLOGYNEW TURBINEOILOPERATING ENVIRONMENTPEAK LOADPERFORMANCE INDICATORSPERFORMANCESPLANT OPERATIONPLANT OPERATIONSPLANT RELIABILITYPOTENTIAL ENERGYPOWER FACILITIESPOWER GENERATIONPOWER GENERATION CAPACITYPOWER MIXPOWER SECTORPOWER STATIONPOWER STATIONSPOWER SYSTEMSPRIVATE SECTORPROCUREMENTPROJECT MANAGEMENTPUMPPUMPSQUERIESRAW DATAREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTREGULATORY REQUIREMENTSRELIABILITY OF SUPPLYRENEWABLE ENERGYRENEWABLE SOURCERENEWABLE SOURCE OF ENERGYRENEWABLE SOURCESRESERVOIRRESERVOIRSRESETTLEMENTRESULTRESULTSRIVERRIVER FLOWSRIVERSROLE OF HYDROPOWERSANDSEDIMENTSEDIMENT LOADSEDIMENT LOADSSEDIMENTSSENSITIVITY ANALYSISSILICONSITESSOCIAL ISSUESSPREADSHEETSTREAMSTECHNICAL ISSUESTELEPHONETHERMAL CAPACITYTRANSFORMERSTRANSMISSIONTURBINETURBINE BLADESTURBINE EFFICIENCYTURBINESUSERUSESUTILITIESVOLTAGEWATER SUPPLYWIND10.1596/17251
