Which of the following statements is true regarding micro hydro systems?
A) Micro hydro systems range in capacity from less than 100 kW to more than 1 million kW.
B) The constancy and predictability of hydropower, even if the available resource is small, dramatically improve off-grid systems.
C) For off-grid systems, micro hydro is an unpredictable and unstable source of energy.
D) Even without stored resources of a reservoir, power produced by micro hydro installations does not vary with the seasonal flow of the water supply.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Micro hydro systems are a reliable source of energy for off-grid systems, and the constancy and predictability of hydropower, even if the available resource is small, improve off-grid systems dramatically. Option A is incorrect because micro hydro systems range in capacity from less than 1 kW to 100 kW. Option C is incorrect because micro hydro is generally considered to be a reliable source of energy for off-grid systems. Option D is incorrect because the seasonal flow of water supply affects the power produced by micro hydro installations.
