Design, Develop And Techno-Economical Study of a Run-of-the-Weir Micro Hydro System for a Sensitive Site
This project aimed to harness mechanical energy of exhaust cooling water running continuously in a discharge weir of a base load power plant. However, three major problems were encountered: the site is an operating artificial site, the exhaust cooling water is heated sea water, and the custom syste...

This project aimed to harness mechanical energy of exhaust cooling water running continuously in a discharge weir of a base load power plant. However, three major problems
were encountered: the site is an operating artificial site, the exhaust cooling water is heated sea water, and the custom system is required to be flexible. These problems necessitate a custom design. This custom system was developed from scratch; it was designed, fabricated
and installed very differently compared to other micro hydros. As a novel system, it was evaluated in two aspects – through economic and performance study. Due to safety reasons, the system underwent proof run for a three-month period, without involving extensive on-site
experimentation. Therefore, physical and mathematical modeling, as well as parametric study, were carried out to complement the evaluation. Results obtained showed that the hybrid turbine was indeed a reaction turbine, the custom system was capable of reaching 45% efficiency, and its payback period was estimated as 4.23 years. All in all, the system is feasible for the sensitive site application. |
