Abstract :
This paper appraises the Economics of renewable energy and the hydropower systems on the basis of two countries namely Tajikistan and Pakistan. The economics of a micro-hydropower plant installed in the village named Pashmi-Kuhna of Tajikistan and of a battery-based micro-hydropower plant on catamaran for free water flow operation designed, fabricated and tested in GIK Institute of Pakistan are discussed in this paper. For the economic evaluation of these power plants, the life-cycle costing approach is used. Finally, the costs of the produced energy by the micro-hydropower plants are calculated.
