How to estimate the weight of hydropower electro-mechanical equipment? Available evidence, novel equations and challenges for engineering applications

In the hydropower sector, the weight of electro-mechanical equipment is an important input data. During the design stage, it allows to estimate material cost, to perform Life Cycle Assessments and to consider adequate load factors on the supporting structures. At the end of the lifetime, in case of...
