Mat lab Simulation Procedure for Design of Micro -HydroElectric Power Plant
Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 4
Abstract
The design procedure of micro-hydro power plant was implemented by Matlab Simulink computer program to calculate all the power plant parameters. The choice of turbine type was depending mainly on the site head and rate of flow. The turbine power and speed were directly proportional with the site head, but there were specific points for maximum turbine power and speed with the variation of the site water flow rate. The head losses in the penstock could range from 5 to 10 percent of the gross head, depending on the length of the penstock, quantity of water flow rate and its velocity, intake channel, trash rack specifications and gate valves type. The turbine efficiency could range from 80 to 95 percent depending on the turbine type. The choice of generator power and its specifications depends on the turbine output power and speed. The generator efficiency was about 90 percent. The design study showed that construction of micro-hydro-electric project was feasible in the project site and there were no major problems apparent at the design and implementation stages of the micro-hydro-electric power plant except of turbine manufacturing and the generator type in case of low site head and low flow quantity.
