Integrated Method for Power
Analysis (IMP 4.0)
Supported by: Hydraulic Energy Programme,CANMET- NaturalResources
Canada and Charles Howard & Associates Ltd.
"IMP is an easy-to use package of computer programs
for small scale hydro projects and for other hydrological
applications. IMP will be useful to non-specialists exploring
possibilities for small hydro developements, for university
teaching, and for consulting engineers who need preliminary
estimates of flood frequency and energy potential. The
software includes tips about hydrologic analysis of ungaged
sites. Streamflow data are not required."
"IMP uses topographic and daily weather data to perform
flood frequency analysis and to simulate hourly and daily
streamflow and reservoir operations. Proposed power projects
are optimized based on the value of energy and the cost
of construction."
