• abstract = "In this chapter, a procedure for estimating the capacity of distributed generation based on mini hydro plants has been presented. This procedure has been successfully applied for a practical case where this type of distributed generation can be installed. The classic method used to estimate the capacity of a mini hydro plant was also introduced and then time series forecasting techniques were applied in order to enhance the historic data available. Based on the results of these forecast techniques and the available historical data, an estimation of the design water flow was performed, and a possible capacity for a mini hydro plant calculated. The time series forecast analysis has been conducted using an ARIMA model, a neural network and Genetic Programming by means of the software ECSID. For each case study, the obtained forecast results have been validated against actual measured data. The forecast technique based on neural networks has proven to give the best results for the case under consideration. Also, the selection of the most important electro-mechanic components of a proposed mini hydro plant based on the selected design water flow has been described.",
