		<description><![CDATA[Hydropower penstocks or hydro system pipelines require attention to design regarding fluid flow and head loss. In this short review I'm letting you in on my secret, I use PipeFlow-Expert® by Daxesoft to make these initial penstock performance and energy loss design estimates.  It is a cycle of trial &#38; re-trial to find the sweet spot for a hydro site. A design spot  between power ROI and the sites infrastructure costs. These hydro capital costs include; electric switchgear, turbine and penstock costs, etc.  Hint - the penstock and associated hardware are often one of the most expensive components in a hydro system. ]]></description>
