How
micro-hydro works
The
power available in a river or stream depends on the rate at which the water is
flowing, and the height (head) which it falls down. Hydro schemes are
classified by the output power which they produce as approximately:
- Large
scale: 2 MW and above
- Mini: 100
kW to 2 MW
- Micro: 5
kW to 100 kW
- Pico: less
than 5 kW
But
the basic approach is similar for all.
In
this project the core of a micro-hydro scheme is the turbine, which is rotated
by the moving water. The idea is to install the low voltage motor that convert
to become a turbine and connected to the LED as an indicator of the
electricity. Figure 3.2 is one of example that can be related to my project.
