Design Details of a Turbine Model Used for Energy Conversion in Low Flow Rate Water Streams
Journal Title: HIDRAULICA - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
The potential of water flows has been used since ancient times. Today more than ever, the water streams are used for energy production. Depending on the three essential parameters of water flow represented by flow velocity, flow rate and level difference, the optimal design solutions for choosing the turbine type used to generate energy in a hydroelectric power plant are usually adopted. Over time, special turbine models have been built that have been fitted with hydro-electric power plants such as the Pelton, Francis or Kaplan turbines. The Pelton turbine model was built for use on water courses with a low flow rate but with a considerable difference level. A three-dimensional model for the Pelton turbine was built and analyzed in terms of operation in this work. The results obtained from the analysis are presented as values for the flow velocity and pressure of the water in the considered fluid area.
