AWESOME WATER POWER 500w Hydro Electric Off Grid System

This 4 nozzle micro hydro system is making 500 plus watts of power for an of grid cabin in the woods. First up is the intake. A stainless steel Coanda screen pulls over 200 gallons per minute to reduce the debris that enters the system. Next is a 4" penstock to carry the water from the source to the pma or permanent magnet alternator. This PMA has four nozzles that sweep around the unit on all sides. The water jets made by these nozzles push the spoons or cups on the pelton wheel. Wild 3 phase AC power is sent to the house. A rectifier converts the wild ac to direct current. This is used by the charge controller to store in the battery and finally be used in the house from an 8kw off grid inverter.

Having a piece of land with a lot of height difference and a creek has a lot of added value because you can get a lot of electricity, and its constant. Pretty good!

Greetings, Jeff

@YamiKisara 10 ай бұрын

You can always build a mini-dam (just a tub to catch the water, really) to balance out the lack of a height difference - I reckon it's better to build it either way, because creeks don't have a constant flow of water year-round and you'd wanna account for that fluctuation.

@asdfasdf-dd9lk 10 ай бұрын

@@YamiKisara Not how that works, you can't artificially add height difference, the energy comes from the change in height of the water from the source to the drain. This takes advantage of all of the 50ft of head using that pipe, which is superior to a dam. In terms of a small scale energy storage solution (since 500W isn't enough for most appliances, but averaged over the day and night ought to be more than enough) would be a battery, since a dam for energy storage simply isn't reactive enough to fluctuate to power, say, a toaster or something.

I think more experimentation needs to be done on the impulse wheel. I feel there is more energy available than you are getting. Perhaps a jet turban inside the pipe with thru shaft to the outside thru a 45 degree bend to generator. Or, a turgo runner, instead of a pelton. The problem with pelton is that it relies on head pressure, but resist the flow. Water has to slow down to get the job done. It’s like getting lots of amps, but slow volts. Very nice set up!

This is so joyous to watch! Hehe. Having a private hydroelectric dam was a bit of a childhood dream of mine, during an obsessive phase with dams (and all kinds of civil engineering). We'd drive past farms with quite large dams on family holidays, and visit the real things, which naturally got me thinking, "you could scale that down ... ". So glad it's something people actually do. But I have a point of personal confusion. It generates 3-phase AC ... which is rectified to DC ... to charge batteries ... which discharge DC ... which will then require alternation to 110/240VAC. It seems almost impossible to build more losses into a system. Hehe. Surely the creek flow isn't so intermittent as to allow _require_ batteries (though, they'd be useful in a backup role). Having a transformer for direct conversion to 110/240VAC (and even a 3-phase outlet for any high current requirements) would have to be the ideal setup, right? Even mechanical storage using a flywheel UPS kinda deal seems to make more sense to me. But I have a total of zero training, and even less knowledge in this field, so please forgive the naivety of my questions/comments.

You'd be limited to 500 watts of power (ie/ my 1 computer draws 500) without battery and no power during any maintenance. Flywheel? Nope, steer clear of more mechanical storage. That lifepo4 stack would likely run the place for 1 month without water (but I forget how many kw).

Now I'm curious to find out the maximum power anyone's ever generated at the turbine in a similar(ish) micro hydro setup. Doubt it's more than 1kW.

With commercial power stations that's a "no-no." Important and expensive things break in spectacular fashion. I'm sure the box is "smart," but wouldn't it be better to have a servo operated valve to shut down the water flow just to be sure?
