Micro-HYDRO  POWER

One Better Alternative

                 Source of Electricity !!

Our micro-HYDRO ELECTRICITY SYSTEM

If your site has a source of running water, you simply must investigate its potential as a source of electricity. Micro hydro utilizes the energy of falling water to generate electricity. A proper installation by simply diverting a portion of the available water and then returning that water back to the stream therefore has no negative effects on the local stream.  Our experience has demonstrated that water power will produce between 10 and 100 times more power than solar or wind for the same capital investment. Since water flows day and night, a micro hydro system requires far less battery storage than other technologies. Seasonal streams offer great performance when a hybrid water and solar or wind system is designed. Micro-Hydro electric system is a good choice for rural areas with proximity to running water and no accessibility to the electric grid. 

Micro HYDRO RATED CAPACITY ESTIMATION

A simple formula can give you a rough idea of how much capacity your stream might have. Take the head in feet, multiply it by the flow in gallons per minute (gpm), and divide by a factor of about 12. This will give you the potential wattage of a reasonably efficient, small system. For example, if you have 30 gpm available and 40 feet of head, you will be able to generate something in the range of 100 watts [(30 × 40) ÷ 12 = 100). Over the course of an entire day, the generation would be 2,400 watt-hours or 2.4 kWh (24 hours/day x 100 W). Within this formula is the understanding that systems with low vertical drop (head) need more flow to generate the same amount of energy. Typically, low-head systems will have high flow, and high-head systems will have lower flow. Adapting the example above, if we have 400 hundred feet of head, we only need 3 gpm to generate the same 100 W.

BASIC COMPONENTS of Micro HYDRO SYSTEM

The basic components of a small hydro-electric system, running from “water to wire” are:

 

  • Diversion and intake screen—Directs water from the stream or river into the pipe or channel

  • Penstock (pipeline)—Carries the water to the turbine

  • Turbine—Generates electricity (includes nozzles, runner, and generator)

  • Electronics and batteries (if used)—Regulates turbine and stores energy

  • Dump load—Absorbs surplus energy

  • Transmission and distribution—Delivers the energy to its end use
