Development of a Smart Monitoring Hydro Turbine Installation in a Water Pipeline
摘要
Researchers have implemented measures to improve the energy structure in response to the climate agreement by decreasing the proportion of coal-fired thermal power and increasing the use of clean energy. But because there are so few large-scale energy storage facilities, wind and solar electricity continue to have low utilization rates. The utilization of water from an underground pipeline is suggested in this research. After installing a turbine, the water flow from the pipeline can provide a significant amount of electricity. This study also describes the creation of a hydroturbine system's intelligent Internet of Things monitoring system. The micro-hydro water inflow is still controlled manually as of right now. This fact is problematic since it requires too many human resources and, when carried out manually, the accuracy level is incorrect. The prior monitoring method could only be observed near the generator; remote monitoring was not possible. It is made to allow automatic water entry regulation via a smartphone application to get around the issues. The monitoring system is also created and programmed so that it can be viewed using a smartphone application at any time and from any location. The technique is an experimental technique that produces a water turbine design as well as prototype-scale experiments. The type of turbine employed consisted of 20 types with blade diameters of 50–40 mm and pipe diameters of 55 mm. Three l/min was the inflow velocity. To examine the impact of various numbers of blades on the turbine movement and flow pressure, the experiment is carried out using 20 different numbers of blades, ranging from 2 to 6. Using a sophisticated monitoring system, the performance of each blade was tracked. The findings demonstrate that the system that has been developed can perform admirably. The outcomes demonstrated that the optimum blades for moving because of the water flow from the intake area were those with five blades. Meanwhile, the turbine's RPM decreased when it had blades 2–4 and 6. Because the angle of the guiding vane is too tiny, there will be turbulence, making the blade design unsuitable. The outcomes also demonstrated that the 5 blades outperformed in terms of movement velocity and flow pressure.
