Performance Analysis of a Low Head Water Vortex Turbine
A small hydropower plant is an environment-friendly renewable energy technology. The run-of-river type gravitational water vortex turbine can be designed to produce electricity at sites with low water heads. In this study, an experimental investigation was undertaken on this type of turbine with...

| description | A small hydropower plant is an environment-friendly renewable energy
technology. The run-of-river type gravitational water vortex turbine can be
designed to produce electricity at sites with low water heads. In this study, an
experimental investigation was undertaken on this type of turbine with a water
tank and a runner which is connected to a shaft. At the end of the shaft, a rope
brake was attached to measure the output power, torque and overall efficiency of
the vortex turbine by varying flow rates. The designed vortex turbine can achieve
an overall efficiency of 52.67%. The experimental results were validated with
available data in the literature and theories associated with the turbine. The
results also showed that the flow rate plays a vital role in generating power,
torque as well as overall efficiency. The project was completed using local
resources and technologies. Moreover, as water is used as the input power, this
project is eco-friendly which has no adverse effect on the environment. |
