Small hydro development

The awareness of the absolute necessity to develop

renewable energies is strong all over the World and many

countries have developed support mechanism in order to

increase the use of renewable in the whole energy sector.

As a key actor of green electricity production, small hydro

benefits from this global trend: new projects are sets, new

products are made available on the market, environmental

integration is now a key issue considered by the project

developers.

However, the future of hydropower in Europe is uncertain.

The implementation of regulation on water management and

protection, and the growing concern and requirements from

the environmental point of view, are damaging the image of

hydropower. Moreover, these regulations will really impact

on the production and development of the remaining hydro

potential. Therefore, it is then particularly important to make

a change and to demonstrate that hydropower is not only

alive, but also dynamic. Altogether, we can make a change!

Hidroenergia Congresses

Organized since 1989, Hidroenergia Congresses gather

more than 300 experts and specialists of the SHP sector in

Europe to debate about the hot topics affecting the devel-

opment of the sector, exchange experiences and present

new advances in the technology as well as to network and

find business opportunities and partners.

After Bled (Slovenia) in 2008, Hidroenergia 2010 will take

place in June 2010 in Lausanne, Switzerland.

The organizers

Hidroenergia congresses are co-organized by ESHA and

one of its members representing the hosted country, being

MHyLab for this year’s edition.

ESHA, the European Small Hydropower Association, is a

non-profit International Association representing the sector

of small hydropower that brings together specialists and

stakeholders in the SHP field from all over the world.

MHyLab is a non-profit-making foundation, independent of

any manufacturer or company, established in Montcherand,

Switzerland. This skill center develops turbines fitted to

small hydropower, supplies hydraulic design to small

manufacturers and proposes specialized engineering

services to the small hydro stakeholders.

Who should attend?

Hidroenergia 2010 will bring together planners, developers,

owners and operators, environmental specialists, financiers,

researchers, students, manufacturers and suppliers for an

exchange of expertise which will be constructive in further-

ing well planned hydropower development worldwide.

The Beaulieu Congress Center

Congress language

Located in the French speaking part of Switzerland,

Lausanne is the second largest city on the shores of Lake

Geneva; it combines the dynamics of a business town with

its ideal location as a holiday resort. Sport and culture are

a golden rule in the Olympic Capital. A city that is stra-

tegically placed at the crossroads of Europe and easily

accessible from Geneva International Airport. Spreading

between vineyards, forests and meadows, Lausanne is

considered as one of the greenest towns in Europe. A set-

ting of quality and tranquility endowed with all the services

and comforts of a small European metropolis. The city has

all it takes to offer ideal working conditions for congress

delegates. For those accompanying, the city has plenty to

offer: Shopping, culture, wellness, gastronomy or simply

strolling around.

Lausanne is also well known for its outstanding university

the UNIL and the “Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale”, EPFL,

with more than 20,000 students, not only from Switzerland

but from around the globe.

Lausanne and its Congress Center are located at only

45 minutes from the Geneva International Airport offering

connections from all major European cities. www.gva.ch

The city is also of easy access by train, located at only

4 hours from Paris with the TGV. www.cff.ch

Thanks to its topography and hydrology, Switzerland has

ideal conditions for the use of hydropower. Participating

for about 57% of the national electricity generation, hydro-

power is Switzerland most important domestic source of

renewable energy. Today there are 538 hydropower plants

in Switzerland that each have a capacity of at least 300 kW.

Their average yearly production is around 35,500 GWh,

47% of which is produced by run-of-river power plants,

49% by storage power plants and approximately 4% by

pumped storage power plants. Two thirds of hydroelectric-

ity are generated in the mountain cantons of Uri, Grisons,

Ticino and Valais, while Aargau and Bern also generate

significant quantities. Roughly 10% of Switzerland’s hydro-

power generation comes from international power plants

situated on rivers along the country borders. The federal

government wants to promote the future use of hydro-

power to a greater extent through a variety of measures.

The instruments to be used here include feed-in tariffs for

hydropower plants with a capacity up to 10 MW, and the

promotion measures defined in the “Renewable energy”

action plan. In terms of quantity, the goal is to increase the

mean estimated production level by at least 2,000 GWh per

year versus the level recorded in 2000 by renovating exist-

ing hydropower plants and building new ones.

Lausanne’s conference venue offers equipment that

allows participants to get the most out of every event, and

a broad range of hotels are available for every budget.

The Beaulieu Congress Center is within close proximity

to the downtown area, making all destinations optimally

accessible thanks to the availability of public transporta-

tion services. www.beaulieu.org

The majority of the presentation will be made in English. However a high level simultaneous

translation in French and German will be insured for all sessions.

Accompanying person tour

Technical visits

The best way to get to know the Olympic Capital is to start

in Ouchy, on the shores of Lake Geneva, with a visit at the

Olympic Museum. You will then make your way up towards

the center to discover the highlights and interests of the

city. This tour will end around noon leaving you plenty

of time to enjoy lunch. The afternoon is free to continue

the visit on your own, shop or simply relax at your hotel.

A bus will take you to the foot

of the Pre-Alps, in Gruyère, to

discover the charms of this

region.

Who has not dreamed of

visiting a chocolate factory?

Discover the process of choc-

olate manufacturing and the

odors that come from it in the famous Cailler of Switzerland

(Nestlé) chocolate factory in Broc. Thanks to an interactive

guided tour, you will discover the secrets of chocolate

manufacturing inside this operating factory. The visit also

traces the history of the factory from 1898.

After lunch head off to The Lavaux Vineyard Terraces

(UNESCO World Heritage). A perfect setting overlooking

at the lake, to stop and discover the vines of the region!

Guided City Tour (half day)

Gruyère, Cailler Chocolate Factory

and the vineyards (full day)

With more than 1000 small plants in operation, Switzerland

has a long history with small hydropower. Moreover,

Switzerland has a long tradition from multiuse of water;

the first experience with turbining drinking water comes

already from the beginning of 20th century.

Our first technical visit will be at Profay (380 kW) small

hydropower plant located in the Bagnes commune. This

scheme turbines wastewater from the Verbier ski resort

before treatment. The project started as a demonstration

in 1994 but the equipment has been renewed in 2008, the

available discharge having radically changed.

Then, we will change size and continue to Bieudron power

plant, which has a total installed capacity of 1,269 MW.

The plant turbines the water from the Cleuson-Dixence

complex. Bieudron power plant alone holds three world

records: gross head (1,883 m), mechanical output of each

Pelton turbine (423 MW) and output per alternator’s pole.

Built between 1993 and 1998 to increase the complex

production capacity, Cleuson Dixence installation is made

up of:

a water intake in the Grande Dixence dam,

a 15.8 km feeder duct

a 4.3 km long metal-lined pressure shaft

Bieudron underground power plant

After lunch, on the way back to Lausanne, we will visit

Mini Farettes hydropower plant (178 kW) in Aigle, which

produces electricity using the residual height difference

between the outlet of a high-head power plant and the

Grande Eau River.

the right to make your reservation at the nearest available alternative

The registration fees do not include the insurance of participants against
