1. A Regional Hydropower Competence Centre
ASEAN HYCOM
A Regional Hydropower Competence Centre
offering Training, Development and Research Assistance to the Small-scale Hydropower Sector
Bandung 16. April 2013

2. Regional Hydropower Competence Centre Strategy and aims
HYCOM will facilitate an ASEAN wide knowledge exchange on mini and micro hydropower (1kW up to 1MW).
The objective of HYCOM is to provide a competence centre, offering training as well as facilitating research and development to the MHP sector.
The main focus will not be on theoretical, scientific research, but on demand orientated technical assistance, training and support of the MHP sector in ASEAN countries and wordwide.

3. Build up Phase: HYCOM Public Private Partnership (PPP)
Private Partners: PT. Entec Indonesia and TEDC, Technical Education Development Centre, Bandung, Indonesia, forming a consortium for the HYCOM project
Public Partner: The ASEAN-German Mini Hydro Project (AGMHP), jointly implemented by the ASEAN Center for Energy (ACE) and the German Technical Cooperation (GTZ) on behalf of ASEAN and the Government of Germany.

4. HYCOM Organisational Structure
HYCOM is a joint venture of TEDC and PT. Entec.
In the build up phase PT. Entec had the lead.
During the operational phase TEDC is the leading partner
HYCOM is integrated into the structure of TEDC and has the status of a bussines unit and takes care of his financing independently

5. HYCOM Customers
HYCOM’s target groups and potential customers will be private and public sector actors and educational institutions actively involved in MHP development, mainly active in the ASEAN region:
Equipment manufacturers, suppliers, consultants
Lecturers, trainers and students from private and state universities, vocational schools and other educational institutions.
Mini hydro associations
Operators and managers of MHP plants
Regional, bilateral and national MHP support programs (e.g. AGMHP, MHPP,TSU, IMIDAP)
Political decision makers and representatives of government departments
Potential investors and financiers
Appropriate technology and research institutions active in mini hydropower technology development and dissemination

6. Products and Services
HYCOM will offer the following products and services:
Core products and services:
Conduction of standard and tailor-made trainings;
Development of core competencies and qualifications of teachers and trainers (HYCOM is closely linked to TEDC which is experienced in vocational education and up-grading teachers and trainers in the field of technology and vocation);
Become an centre for competence of technicians, supervisors etc.;
Systems of standards, quality assurance, accreditation, and measurement to promote greater quality & efficiency and enhance cost effectiveness of local/regional production of MHP equipment.
Possible extension of the product/service range
Enhance technical infrastructure and competency in laboratory testing, calibration, inspection, and certification based on regionally/internationally accepted procedures and guidelines;
Standards for professional qualification (e.g. for trainers in operation and maintenance, turbine producers) in order to facilitate mutual recognition of qualifications between ASEAN member countries.

7. Expected impact on target groups
HYCOM allows to increase the know how of institutions and individuals active in the MHP sector in ASEAN countries, e.g. local manufacturers, consultant companies, public institutions, educational and research organisations, utilities etc.
HYCOM can capitalize the extensive experience and know-how accumulated in Indonesia for other ASEAN countries as a basis for promoting standardised technology packages to MHP developers. This will ultimately contribute to improved sustainability of MHP projects implemented in the region.

8. Offering tailor made MHP Training packages
Target 2011
Offering tailor made MHP Training packages

9. What means demand oriented technical assistance?

10. Example: Research Work 1997 in Hydrolab University Stuttgart
Research work on cross flow turbines was the basics for the T14 cross flow design-

11. Technology Transfer Indonesia
Turbines can now be produced locally covering a wide range of sizes suitable for a variety of projects (stand alone, captive, grid connected) about 300 units operational.

12. Result: Local Production of MHP Equipment
electro- mechanical equipment of about 400 power plants was produced in the last 10 years and implemented all over Indonesia and other countries like England, Swiss, Philippines, Nepal, Madagascar, Ethiopia, Uganda, Tansania, Papua New Guinee, Cameroon, Zaire, Mozambique etc.

13. Why to establish HYCOM in Bandung/Indonesia?

14. Introduction of Renewable Energy SMKs in Indonesia
In Bandung about 350 qualified people represent a experience of
3000 Man/Years
in all aspects of building and operating MHP in the range up to 500kW

15. Trainings for the Hydro Power Sector on national and international level have a long tradition in Bandung

16. Exchange of MHP know how
