Hydro Energy for Off-Grid Rural Electrification Ef
Harnessing Hydro Energy for Off-grid Rural Electrification ef ydro power is considered the largest and most mature application of renewable energy. The installed capacity worldwide is estimated at 630,000 MW, producing ri H over 20 percent of the world’s electricity. In the European Union, hydro power contributes at least 17 percent to its electricity supply. Translated in terms of environmental costs, the hydro installations in the European Union are instrumental in avoiding 67 million tons of CO2 emissions annually. There is yet no international consensus on how to classify hydro systems by size. The European B Small Hydro Association however has included in the definition of small hydro those systems with capacity up to 10 MW. The Philippines has adapted the European nomenclature, but further breaks down “small” systems into “mini” and “micro.” RA 7156 defines mini-hydro systems as those installations with size ranging from 101 kW to 10MW. By inference, micro- hydro systems refer to installations with capacity of 100 kW or less. Small hydro power plants are mainly ‘run-off-river’ systems since they involve minimal water impounding. As such, they are regarded environmentally benign forms of energy generation. It is estimated that a 5-MW small hydro power plant that can supply power to about 5,000 families, replaces 1,400 tons of fossil fuel and avoids emissions of 16,000 tons of CO2 and more than 100 tons of SO2 annually. In the Philippines, the Department of Energy has identified 1,081 potential sites of small hydro installations that can produce power up to 13,426 MW. -

Design and Analysis of a Kaplan Turbine Runner Wheel
Proceedings of the 3rd World Congress on Mechanical, Chemical, and Material Engineering (MCM'17) Rome, Italy – June 8 – 10, 2017 Paper No. HTFF 151 ISSN: 2369-8136 DOI: 10.11159/htff17.151 Design and Analysis of a Kaplan Turbine Runner Wheel Chamil Abeykoon1, Tobi Hantsch2 1Faculty of Science and Engineering, University of Manchester Oxford Road, M13 9PL, Manchester, UK [email protected] 2Devison of Applied Science, Computing and Engineering, Glyndwr University Mold Road, LL11 2AW, Wrexham, UK Abstract - The demand for renewable energy sources such as hydro, solar and wind has been rapidly growing over the last few decades due to the increasing environmental issues and the predicted scarcity of fossil fuels. Among the renewable energy sources, hydropower generation is one of the primary sources which date back to 1770s. Hydropower turbines are in two types as impulse and reaction where Kaplan turbine is a reaction type which was invented in 1913. The efficiency of a turbine is highly influenced by its runner wheel and this work aims to study the design of a Kaplan turbine runner wheel. First, a theoretical design was performed for determining the main characteristics where it showed an efficiency of 94%. Usually, theoretical equations are generalized and simplified and also they assumed constants of experienced data and hence a theoretical design will only be an approximate. This was confirmed as the same theoretical design showed only 59.98% of efficiency with a computational fluids dynamics (CFD) evaluation. Then, the theoretically proposed design was further analysed where pressure distribution and inlet/outlet tangential velocities of the blades were analysed and corrected with CFD to improve the efficiency of power generation. -

The HAWT has been proved a boon for such a country which which harnesses electrical energy at the expense of water overwhelmingly depends upon fossil fuels for their kinetic energy. As the name suggests it has a horizontal axis of electrification. This technology has efficiently helped them to rotation. Due to this they can be installed directly inside the curb with various social and economic crisis [2]. The water body, beneath the flow. These turbines do not require complicated remote households and communities of Brazil any head and are also known as zero head or very low head have been electrified with these small hydro-kinetic projects, water turbines.

The Small-Scale Hydropower Plants in Sites of Environmental Value: an Italian Case Study
sustainability Article The Small-Scale Hydropower Plants in Sites of Environmental Value: An Italian Case Study Marianna Rotilio *, Chiara Marchionni and Pierluigi De Berardinis Department of Civil, Architecture, Environmental Engineering, University of Studies of L’Aquila, 67100 L’Aquila, Italy; [email protected] (C.M.); [email protected] (P.D.B.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-349-6102-863 Received: 18 October 2017; Accepted: 29 November 2017; Published: 30 November 2017 Abstract: Since ancient times water has been accompanying technological change in the energy sector. Used as a source of hydraulic energy, it currently generates one-fifth of the global electricity production. However, according to collective imagination, hydroelectric plants are constructions of high environmental, acoustic, and visual impact, which may harm the preservation of the territory. This paper intends to address the topic of mini-hydropower that, in addition to providing the production of renewable energy, ensures a limited environmental impact even in delicate contexts with high landscape values, by elaborating a research methodology that makes these interventions compatible with them. The process of “global compatibility” checks developed to assess the feasibility of the intervention will be explained in the paper. We intend to describe here the research process undertaken to make the planning of this type of system sustainable, in contexts that need to be rehabilitated in relation both to the accessibility of citizens and to the environmental enhancement. The intervention planned will be characterized by the combined use of other renewable energy sources, in addition to water. The proposed methodology has been tested on a case study in the village of Roccacasale, in the province of L’Aquila. -
