"Hydropower Generation" by [] Edson Bortoni Resumen The presentation presents general facts of hydropower generation around the world, design characteristics, modern application supporting renewable energy generation. Special attention is paied to the main civil and mechanical components, hydroturbines and to the electrical machines applied to the small and big hydropower stations. Biografía Edson C. Bortoni (Senior Member, IEEE) was born in Maringaì, Brazil, in 1966. He received the bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the Federal University of Itajubaì (UNIFEI), Itajubaì, Brazil, in 1990, the M.Sc. degree in energy systems planning from the University of Campinas, Campinas, Brazil, in 1993, the D.Sc. degree in power systems from the Polytechnic School, University of Sao Paulo (USP), Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 1998, and the Habilitation degree from USP, in 2012.
