“…The tests were carried out in the Hydrodynamics towing tank laboratory, with a towing speed of 2.5 m/s (Figure 4). The analysis is carried out by comparing the results of the outrigger towing test on the towing tank with Equation 1 about the potential difference [6,10]: ε= NBAω (1) Where N is the number of loops in the coil, B is the magnetic field, A is the area of the loop and ω is the angular velocity.…”

The outrigger is one of the components of the boat attached to the outside of the boat. Outrigger has a fairly vital function because it can make the boat stable when fishermen do activities at sea. This study aims to determine the potential of electrical energy that can be generated in the outrigger. In this study, the outrigger shape was modified so that the water flow could be directed into the outrigger cylinder and rotate the turbine to produce electrical energy. This modification was carried out without eliminating the main function of the outrigger supporting the stability of fishing boats. The electrical energy produced is stored in the battery to be used as a source of electricity for lighting at night. The results of this study indicate that the electrical energy produced by outriggers can be used as a source of lighting for traditional fishing boats. However, further research is still needed to determine the loss of ship resistance with this modification.

“…Además, establecen que este tipo de tecnología tiene el potencial de ser utilizada para la electrificación rural en regiones en desarrollo con recursos hídricos confiables bajos. Raza et al.. [20] resaltan que la electricidad generada por la energía hidráulica es más barata y respetuosa con el medioambiente, además, establecen que los sistemas de microgeneración no conectados a red pueden utilizar aguas residuales y que la turbina más adecuada para una central hidroeléctrica de baja caída es la turbina Arquímedes.…”

En este trabajo se aplica el principio de generación hidroeléctrica, utilizado a gran escala en nuestro país. El sistema construido representa una herramienta didáctica de laboratorio en los cursos de docencia sobre energías renovables. El objetivo de este artículo es la construcción de un microgenerador hidráulico de carácter didáctico que permita aprovechar la energía cinética del agua para la producción de energía eléctrica. Además, disponer dicho sistema en una institución educativa ayuda a enseñar conceptos de energías renovables como la microhidráulica y potenciar sus aplicaciones en zonas rurales a través de proyectos de vinculación con la sociedad. Se han considerado aspectos de diseño importantes como potencia de generación, uso del modelo tornillo de Arquímedes, suministro del recurso hídrico, costo de materiales para la elaboración, instalación del generador, entre otros. Esta propuesta ofrece una solución didáctica de bajo costo fácil de reproducir, que genera una potencia máxima de 8 (W) con un caudal de 10 (l/s), lo que permite abastecer una determinada demanda eléctrica, principalmente de iluminación. A través de un modelo validado en laboratorio gracias al sistema desmontable que posee para ser utilizado en un entorno real, se realizaron pruebas, utilizando un tanque de almacenamiento de agua y una bomba. Con estos resultados se concluye que el sistema construido aprovecha un caudal de agua reducido para producir energía limpia y renovable.

“…According to the authors, this value is related to the problem of cracking welds, which connect the shaft with the spiral blades. The initial condition torque values come from the developed Archimedes turbine model with an assumed water flow rate from 0 to 2.7 m 3 /s [33]; while in [34], the authors assumed the water flow rate from 0.25 to 6.5 m 3 /s.…”

Impact of the Minimum Head on Low-Head Hydropower Plants Energy Production and Profitability

et al. 2020

In Poland, existing barrages are characterized by relatively high flow and low head, which is challenging for the effective utilization of theoretical watercourse power. The paper presents the impact of the minimum head of the hydro sets on the annual electricity production of small hydropower plants at low-head locations for two types of water turbines: Archimedes and Kaplan turbines. A developed mathematical model was used to simulate energy yield from Archimedes and Kaplan turbines for a given value of the minimum technical head, depending on the number of installed hydro sets. For economic analysis purposes, the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) and net present value (NPV) indicators were calculated. The conducted research allowed for comparing Archimedes and Kaplan’s turbine operating conditions and how the minimum head parameter influences their electricity production and utilization time. As concluded in the results, the influence of minimum head in energy production is more distinct for the Archimedes screw technology than for the Kaplan turbine. The research shows that the decrease in energy production associated with the hydro unit’s minimum head parameter is from 0% to 30% for Kaplan, and it is 6% to 52% for Archimedes turbines.
