Micro Hydropower Plant with Rotor's Pintle and Hydrodynamic Profile of Blades

摘要

The analysis of hydraulic energy conversion systems has demonstrated the opportunity for the development of water kinetic energy conversion systems compared to potential energy conversion systems. The micro hydropower plants designed modularly, allow change of destination and of functional characteristics by replacing some units with others. The experimental research of the integral technical system - hydrodynamic rotor coupled kinematically with component units of micro hydro power plants aims at increasing efficiency of water flow kinetic energy conversion into useful energy by identifying and, where necessary, introducing in the technical documentation of partial structural changes and, sometimes, of conceptual and technical solutions adopted previously.
