WEEK 6: TURBINE VERIFICATION


Objectives: 
  • To learn about type of turbine used in hydroelectric generator.
  • To gain knowledge about turbine efficiency.
  • To analyse the turbine behaviour and determine the suitable turbine for proposed systems.
Content / Procedure: 
  • Get the information from book, video and document.
  • Compare the types of turbine.
  • Justify the right turbine for proposed systems.
  • Try to produce my own customized turbine based on specification given.
Result and Analysis:
  • The turbine used to converts the energy in the water into electricity.
  • Many types of turbines available, so it is important to match the turbine to the system's condition of water head and flow.
  • The Pelton wheel have been chosen as a suitable turbine in proposed systems due a few factors such as performances, reliability and cost.
  • All the turbine types, the energy of falling water is converted into rotary motion in the runner's shaft.
  • This shaft is coupled directly or belted to either a permanent magnet alternator, or a synchronous or induction AC generator.
  • The compilation of picture below, shows the characteristic and the load of work that has been done during this part.
ASPECT
SIZE (cm)
Total diameter
12.7
Inner wheel diameter
1.5875
Notch dimensions
0.47625 (tangential) by 0.238125 (radial)
Cup Width
2.54 and 1.905





  • The turbine was been made by my own because it is difficult to be find in Malaysia. 
  • The turbine made from motor gear, 9 metal spoon, bearing and the shaft. 
  • The wheel which is suitable for nozzles up to 13 mm diameter with nozzle aligned such that jet strikes runner in centre of bucket.
Conclusions
  • I'm choose a Pelton Wheel turbine to be used at hydroelectric generator.
  • Pelton wheel turbine is a most suitable choice based on few criteria.
  • The efficiency of turbine surely will be reduce cause of the own made turbine, but the performance is not far compare to the real one.
