el mismo podtia satisfacer sus necesidades.<br />

La conferencia ha tenido un gran exito. Los<br />

objetivos espetificos que se han satisfecho son 10s de<br />

proporcionar una conferencialtaller t&mica y de<br />

caracterizar un intercambio de informaci6n y el<br />

desarrollo de contactos para acci6n cooperativa en el<br />

futuro. Se puede atribtir la satisfaccibn de estos<br />

objetivos a 10s participantes y a aquellos que<br />

observan. Su dedicacidn y esfuerzos para intercambiar<br />

experiencias ayudara a cumplir la meta de desarrollar<br />

la capacidad hidroel&trica en pequeiia escala<br />

en las Breas rurales.<br />

La mejor manera de presentar un resumen de la<br />

conferencia es la de usar 10s criterios que el Dr. Jack<br />

Fritz estableci6 al principio:<br />

Criterio 1: Definir el lugar de las pequefias plantas<br />

hidroektricas en el equilibrio de la<br />

energia<br />

Hallazgos de la Conferencia:<br />

* Satisface las necesidades rurales, las necesidades<br />

de las <strong>com</strong>unidades descentralizadas aisladas.<br />

@ Combina el futuro de una fuente renovable con la<br />

dependabilidad de una tecnoloffia <strong>com</strong>probada<br />

0 Esti disponible ahora mismo<br />

0 Se las puede integrar con otras fuentes de<br />

energia y otras tecnologias<br />

Criterio 2: Elevar el nivel . de eonscrmtizaci&u cm<br />

respect0 a las pequefias plantas<br />

hidroelktricas<br />

Haliazgos de ia Conferenciat<br />

* Hemos revisado el estado de1 desarrollo de la tecnologia<br />

de las turbinas, sus tipos, caractetisticas y<br />

materiales<br />

* Hemos intercambiado experiencias con<br />

fabricantes locales de equipos y hemos descrito las<br />

habilidades requeridas<br />

0 Hemos investigado 10s an6lisis hidrol&icos, 10s<br />

requisitos para la informaci6n y las ticnicas<br />

l Hemos examinado 10s criterios de selecci6n de1<br />

lugar y la necesidad de que 10s equipos se ajusten a<br />

las caractetisticas de1 lugar<br />

* Hemos investigado la factibilidad operativa de las<br />

facilidades<br />

0 Hemos aprendido acerca de la generaci6n y<br />

distribucibn y 10s equipos requeridos<br />

0 Nos han informado acerca de las metodologias<br />

We have a new staff in Washington, DC. for<br />

this program and would be pleased to talk to any<br />

of you about our program and how it may meet<br />

The conference has been highly useful. The<br />

stated objectives that have been met were that<br />

it be a technical workshop and that it feature<br />

information exchange and development of contracts<br />

for future cooperative action. That these<br />

objectives have been met is attributable to the<br />

participants and observers. Their dedication and<br />

efforts to share their experiences will help<br />

achieve the goal of developing small hydroelectric<br />

capacity in rural areas.<br />

A summary of the conference is best<br />

presented by means of the criteria Dr. Jack Fritz<br />

set out in the beginning:<br />

Criterion 1: The fit of small scale hydro in the<br />

energy balance<br />

Workshop findings:<br />

6<br />

0 It meets rural needs of isolated, decen-<br />

tralized <strong>com</strong>munities<br />

@ It <strong>com</strong>bines the future of a renewable<br />

resource with the reliability of a proven<br />

technology<br />

l It is available now<br />

l It can be integrated with other energy<br />

sources and technologies<br />

Criterion 2: Raise consienceness levels with<br />

respect to small hydra<br />

Workshop findings:<br />

0 We have looked at the state of small<br />

turbine technology, its types, characteristics<br />

and materials<br />

l We have shared the experiences of local<br />

equipment manufacturers and have discussed<br />

the required skills<br />

e We have discussed hydrologic analysis, its<br />

information requirements and techniques<br />

l We have examined site selection criteria<br />

and the need to match the equipment to the<br />

site<br />

0 We have looked at the operational feasibility<br />

for facilities<br />

e Wle have learned about generation and<br />

distribution and the required equipment<br />

0 We have heard about economic<br />

methodologies used in determining project<br />

feasibility
