Obiettivo Aim of demo project is to uprate an existing SHP in an irrigation channel by installing a second turbine set of vertical pressure chamber, Francis single block type to use surplus irrigation flow. Annual energy output 825,000 kWh expected and the payback is estimated as 9 years. Innovation is simplified turbine housing of pressure chamber instead of a conventional spiral case.An existing mini-hydroelectric towerstation exploits the energy of an irrigation channel using a 155 kW turbine/generator. There is an excess flow which is currently only used for irrigation purposes. This project will install a second turbine/generator to exploit all of the excess flow. The novel Francis turbine design has a new type of casing called a "mono-block" which replaces the traditional spiral casing. The operation of the plant will be fully automatic.Net head 13 mFlow 2.75 m3/sOutput power 307 kW Programma(i) ENG-ENDEMO C - Programme (EEC) of demonstration projects and industrial pilot projects (EEC) in the energy field, 1985-1989 Argomento(i) Data not available Invito a presentare proposte Data not available Meccanismo di finanziamento DEM - Demonstration contracts Coordinatore HIDROWATT SA Contributo UE Nessun dato Indirizzo C/ARAGON 295 08009 Barcelona Spagna Mostra sulla mappa Costo totale Nessun dato
