Being a renewable source of energy small hydropower is considered as an environment—friendly and cheap source of electricity . The installation cost of the small hydropower project depends mainly on two parts—civil works and electromechanical equipment . One of the most important element on the recovery of a small hydro - power plant is the electromechanical equipment (turbine - alternator) . The present pa - per intends to develop a correlation to determine the cost based on the cost influencing parameters as power and head using three different methods , namely ; sigma plot method , linest method and logest method . An attempt has also been made to identify the best correlation among the three models closer to the actual cost of electro - mechanical equipment as collected from recently developed projects .
