nowadays,it is important to consider environmental issues,as ecological problems and their severe effect intensify in iran,particularly in khuzestan province.the environmental effects of hydroelectric plants are highly regarded due to their significant impact on an extensive area.the lack of safe path for fish passing through the turbines is one of these damages. in order to deal with these cha...

Turbine is the most important part of hydro power plant which converts the potential energy of water into mechanical energy. The presence of silt in water erodes the turbine material. Erosion of turbine decreases the performance of turbine, life of the turbine as well as loss of power generation. This paper presents a new approach for the study of silt erosion of hydro turbine. In this study, w...

Micro-hydro-electric power is both an efficient and reliable formof clean source of renewable energy. It can be an excellent method of harnessing renewable energy from small rivers and streams. The micro-hydro project designed to be a run -of-river type, because it requires very little or no reservoir in order to power the turbine. The water will run straight through the turbine and back into t...

This study presents analysis of pico-hydro electrical power plant in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. The objective of this study is to get a design of axial turbine pico-hydro electrical power plant. The method used the study of literature, survey the construction site of the power plant and the characteristics of the location being a place of study, analysis of hydropower ability and analyzing cost...

Power Generation from Renewable energy sources like wind, solar, geothermal, biomass, and hydro is predominant now days and among the renewable energy sources, small hydro and wind energy have the ability to complement each other. For Power generation by small or micro hydro as well as wind systems, the use of squirrel-cage induction generators (SCIGs) is mostly adopted. As regards in recent ye...

In hydro power plants from Romania, there is a major interest for the implementation of digital systems for monitoring and control to replace the conventional control systems for power, frequency and voltage. Therefore is necessary to develop mathematical models capable to accurately describe both dynamic and stationary behaviour of the hydro units, in order to be able to implement digital cont...

s: -Most of the small hydro power plants are based on Run of River scheme, implying that they do not have any water storage capability. The power is generated only when enough water is available from the river. When the stream flow reduces below the design flow value, the generation will reduce as the water does not flow through the intake structure into the turbine. Small hydro plants may be s...

The choice of hydraulic turbine manufacturer and their performance assessment are becoming major challenges. Evaluating product criterion and selecting optimum manufacturer are complicated tasks due to the fact that various criteria or objectives must be considered in the decision making process having various importance. In this study, we proposed a hydro turbine manufacturer selection analysi...

In this paper, an artificial-based optimizes and analysis of an optimal proportional, integral, derivative (PID) controller is introduced for a hydro-turbine generator governor. The main purpose, optimization PID controller parameters of hydro-turbine connected to the network for damping output frequency oscillation. In The proposed approach, an optimal and evolutionary based proportional, inte...

Power system is a combination of a number of sources and loads properly linked by a transmission system. The source is a generating system fueled by renewable or non renewable system where bio mass fuel is used to generate electric power. Due to low levels of bio fuel availability, the gas turbine system is considered as a weak system when compared to thermal and hydro systems. However, stable ...
