In Chile, as in many parts of the world, some places do not have electricity and to produce it they have to use diesel-based generators. On the other hand, some of these sites are river courses with hydroelectric potential that have not been exploited. The paradigm shift in electricity generation is from the mainframe systems from generation to generation networks-low-micro scale, using local renewable energy resources. The Project: In a review of the state of the art micro-hydro plants, it was found that there were no developments in automation for power 10[kW]. To take advantage of these water resources, the Center of Energy – FCFM develop a “Plug & Play” Micro Hydraulics (MCH), capable of operating in isolation and automatically connect to the mains if there was raised. The design provides for a compact machine room protecting the electromechanical system and the electronic control and monitoring a user interface can be understood by an unskilled user. The system aims to reduce the tasks associated with the installation process by reducing the time and cost of installation, based on design thinking methodologies and user-centered design. The Design Process: For the procedure for installing a micro hydraulic system and identify problems associated from the point of view of the user, information collected by the equipment was obtained and installed micro hydro visiting where their owners were interviewed facilities. He attended the installation of a central micro particularly located in Teno, Maule Region, a project developed by the EC-FCFM, interviewed expert installers of hydraulic power micro and secondhand information was gathered through a review Bibliographic and Micro Hydro installation manuals and experiences on the web (forums, blogs), emphasizing the user’s relationship with the teams in the installation and operation of the system. Thus it was identified that the higher costs for the implementation of a project of this nature are at the stage installation of equipment in the number of associated tasks and material moving; and when monitoring the system, had trouble understanding non-expert users.
