SIMAHPP 4 Professional is an easy to use windows based simulation tool to evaluate the feasibility of hydropower projects. It is initially designed to simulate small hydropower systems of up to 10 MW but now, thanks to the newly added financial module, it can also simulate larger hydropower systems with a capacity of more than 10 MW. SIMAHPP 4.8 is now available SIMAHPP 4.8 now integrates variable turbine efficiency editor, with which users can enter desired turbine efficiency for each flow. Modified values can be saved and automatically accessed by the program as another simulation run is executed. At any time, the user can switch to fixed turbine values by checking the 'Constant Efficiency' checkbox. If this box is checked, the program sets all efficiency values to a fixed value that can be changed in the Turbine Efficiency combo box. Thus, SIMAHPP v4.8 now provides users with two options in terms of turbine efficiency: variable or fixed turbine efficiency values throughout the flow records. SIMAHPP 4 Professional is a multi-site, multi-option simulator intended to solve a wide range of problems such as to determine design flows and to choose appropriate hydro turbine, optimize time of operation in a year so as to maximize annual energy production, determine the energy revenue, estimate investment and related costs, determine amortization rates, Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), payback periods, and indicates the quantity of carbon emission reduction potential if the planned hydropower project is to be operational. SIMAHPP 4 Professional offers much flexible simulation options and integrates a new module to conduct sensitivity analysis. Outputs are detailed project characterisitics and result analysis (both tabular and graphical) basd on three key parameters: hydraulic, financial, and environmental parameters. The sensitivity analysis module helps to further customize project characterisitcs information to the desired range of key parameters and investment costs.
