Hydroelectric Energy: Renewable Energy and the Environment
暫譯: 水力發電：可再生能源與環境

本書提供了實施水力發電項目的基本理論和實用技術，概述了水力發電技術的資源、發電技術、應用以及其優缺點。強調能源與環境之間的聯繫，本書作為有用的背景資源，幫助決策者判斷哪種可再生能源技術最適合不同類型的應用和地區。每章包括範例、實際案例研究和所學到的經驗，並包含練習題、參考文獻，以及來自實際微型水電廠的豐富照片和技術圖紙。

Bikash Pandey is the Innovations Lead for Clean Energy at Winrock International, based in Washington, DC. His work experience encompasses 25 years in policy design, review, and implementation of a range of clean/renewable energy and climate change projects in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. His current areas of work include clean energy finance, low emission development, last mile electrification through mini-grids, community-based electrification, and powering agriculture. Mr. Pandey is one of the pioneers of mobilizing independent power producer (IPP) investment into hydroelectricity and establishing a micro-hydro sector in Nepal to electrify rural communities. He has designed hydropower programs and trained practitioners in over a dozen countries in the proper design of hydropower systems. Mr. Pandey is also actively involved in global discussions around sustainable development of hydroelectricity. He participated as a member of the forum thatset up the World Commission on Dams. Mr. Pandey holds an MS degree from the Energy and Resources Group at the University of California, Berkeley, and an SB degree in electrical engineering from MIT.

Ajoy Karki is a water resources engineer with over 22 years of experience in management, design, and studies of hydropower, rural electrification, and renewable energy projects. He has worked as a hydropower engineer in 15 countries covering South Asia, Central Asia, and East and West Africa. He completed his MS degree in hydraulic engineering at IHE-UNESCO, the Netherlands, in 2000. He also holds degrees in civil engineering from the University of Iowa and physics (cum laude) from Coe College, Iowa. Mr. Karki has published a number of papers as both the lead author and a coauthor in the South Asian Energy Journal, Pakistan; Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Thailand; World Resource Foundation, UK; and Earthscan, UK. He has also provided extensive training courses in hydropower design in various countries in Asia and Africa, and has prepared training manuals and guidelines such as the Manual for Survey and Layout Design of Private Micro-Hydropower Plants for International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), Nepal (1999; coauthor).

**Bikash Pandey** 是位於華盛頓特區的 Winrock International 清潔能源創新負責人。他的工作經驗涵蓋了 25 年，專注於政策設計、審查及實施一系列在亞洲、非洲和拉丁美洲的清潔/可再生能源及氣候變遷項目。他目前的工作領域包括清潔能源金融、低排放發展、透過小型電網進行的最後一公里電氣化、社區電氣化及農業供電。Pandey 先生是將獨立電力生產者（IPP）投資引入水力發電並在尼泊爾建立微型水電部門以電氣化農村社區的先驅之一。他設計了水力發電計畫，並在十多個國家培訓從業人員正確設計水力發電系統。Pandey 先生也積極參與有關水力發電可持續發展的全球討論。他曾作為論壇成員參與設立世界大壩委員會。Pandey 先生擁有加州大學伯克利分校能源與資源組的碩士學位，以及麻省理工學院的電機工程學士學位。

**Ajoy Karki** 是一位水資源工程師，擁有超過 22 年的水力發電、農村電氣化及可再生能源項目的管理、設計及研究經驗。他曾在 15 個國家擔任水力發電工程師，涵蓋南亞、中亞及東西非洲。他於 2000 年在荷蘭 IHE-UNESCO 完成了水力工程碩士學位。他還擁有愛荷華大學的土木工程學位及愛荷華州科學學院的物理學（優等）學位。Karki 先生作為主筆及合著者在《南亞能源期刊》（South Asian Energy Journal）、泰國亞洲理工學院（AIT）、英國世界資源基金會及英國 Earthscan 發表了多篇論文。他還在亞洲和非洲的多個國家提供了水力發電設計的廣泛培訓課程，並準備了培訓手冊和指導方針，例如為尼泊爾國際綜合山地發展中心（ICIMOD）編寫的《私人微型水電廠調查與佈局設計手冊》（1999；合著者）。
