SAARC Energy Centre conducted an on-line training on SMMHP Generation from September 13th to September 17th 2021. Hydro and Renewable Energy Department (HRED), IIT Roorkee was invited to take the lead in the training. Eleven trainers including professors and the leading energy experts from India, Nepal and Austria shared their experience and imparted their knowledge to the professionals from all SAARC Member States and outside the SAARC. Out of total 180 registered professionals, 120 professionals have successfully participated the event. The training covered various aspects of policies, technologies, socioeconomic and environmental aspects, planning, design concepts, techno-economic feasibility, project development and operation/maintenance of SMMHP. Issues, challenges and opportunities pertaining to SMMHP was also discussed. This capacity development event was based on presentations, lectures, training notes, videos, laboratory training, interactive discussions and evaluation through MCQs.
This training has greatly helped the participants to understand the theoretical knowledge and to develop technical skills on planning, design, environmental screening, financial evaluation, and operation and maintenance of SMMHP plants etc. We believe that the participants had good opportunity to be familiar with policy, regulatory support, and ownership model for community-based projects.
