Very low head (VLHS) packaged small hydro station

摘要

The water-turbine and the intake- and exit-tubes are located in a house, which is supported on stilts from the bed of the headpond. In operation, water is siphoned upwards out of the headpond through the open underside of the house. A trashrack is located in the intake-tube, above the water level of the headpond, whereby the trashrack is in air when the turbine is not running. The trashrack is horizontal.
