Plan • Presentation of Hydraulic Turbines • Hydraulic turbines overview • Hydroelectric plant installation • Three types of Hydraulic Turbines • Choice method of Hydraulic Turbines Conclusion
Hydraulic Turbines overview • Hydraulic turbines : liquid turns blades to produce rotation • Potential/Kinetic power -> Mechanical Power -> Electric power • Hydroelectricity • Advantages : Clean and Renewable • Disadvantages : damage of ecosystem, loss of land
Hydraulic Turbines overview Components of a Turbine : Runner : rotational part (Shaft + blades) Diffuser (at output) : channel-shaped increasing in size Distributor : optional component at the input that controls the angle of attack
Hydraulic Plant installation Flow: small head, high velocity (river) Flow: great head (in reservoir)
The Pelton turbine Action turbine No diffuser High operating head The wheelis not submerged The number of openednozzle changes the power
The Francis turbine Reaction turbine Change of the flow pressure Operating headbetween 20 and 500 meters Two main components: upstream guide vanne and runner
The Kaplan turbine • Evolution of the Francis turbine • The guidvanes and runneradapted to the waterflow • High efficiency for a wide range of water flow • Can beused as a pump for Storage pumping
Choice method of hydraulic turbines • Magnet • 2 poles • Magnetic field • + winding = electric current • Alternator • Produces alternating electric power • Qualified by the number of magnetic poles
Choice method of hydraulic turbines Alternator • Electric Network • Stable characteristics • Frequency : 50 Hz • Alternator Frequency • Speed of the rotor • Number of poles
Choice method of hydraulic turbines 4 pairs 750 rpm 40 pairs – 75 rpm • For a sameelectricfrequency (50 Hz) : • Low speed manypoles • High speed lesspoles • Manypoles = expensive
Choice method of hydraulic turbines N Characteristics of water flow and turbine Power of the turbine: Angular velocity:
Choice method of hydraulic turbines Comparison of the specific speed withwidelybuilt turbines
Conclusion Norway – 98% Brazil – 86 % Canada – 61 % • One of the first sources of electricity High technological level and mastery Great efficiency • The main source of renewable energy • High percentage of total electricity production is hydroelectricity in some countries
