Influence Analysis of Selected Turbine to Working Characteristics of Small Hydro Power Plants
Journal Title: Machine Design - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
Small Hydro Power Plants (SHPPs) represent a very important renewable energy source and is becoming more and more expensive in the world. Unfortunately, this is not the case in our country. The choice of turbine SHPP is an extremely complex task because it has a decisive influence on the performance characteristics of the SHPP (efficiency, impeller power, average annual production of electricity, impeller RPM, dimensions, price,...). In this paper, the methodology for selecting the SHPP turbine is defined based on the most important parameters. The methodology has been applied to the specific location located on the Mlava River, but it is most important that it can be applied at any other location. At the end of the paper, conclusions and directions for further research is given.
