This paper presents the operation of centrifugal pumps as
turbines for micro hydropower application. Block diagrams
are used to present components required from intake
chamber to hydropower plant and their electrical energy
mechanism for micro hydropower system. A comparison of
operational parameters of pump as turbine and conventional
turbines is discussed. Also, the paper discusses three types
of methods for selecting the centrifugal pump as turbine
based on the head, flow rate, rotational speed and specific
speed. Furthermore, the technique used to determine the
flow rate characteristics are discussed as well as the
technical guideline is tabulated to assist the application of
centrifugal pump as turbine for micro hydropower scheme
development. |
