Abstract
Small-scale hydropower is considered one of the most economical, predictable, and environmentally friendly technologies. However, it is still under development, which has led to its limited application, especially to hydraulic resources with low head and fluid velocity like the irrigation canal of the "Centenario de la Revolucion Francisco J. Mugica" dam, located in a ruralzone of the state of Michoacan, Mexico. To estimate the actual energy that this hydraulic resource can give, we proposed an energy conversion methodology that consists of three main steps: the evaluation of the hydraulic energy using the annual Flow Duration Curve of the canal, the numerical design of the ducted hydrokinetic turbine using experimental measurements and the selection of a low-velocity electrical generator. The designed hydrokinetic turbine was able to convert 78.53% of the hydraulic energy available into useful energy, which agriculture could use directly in rural areas.
小型水力发电被认为是最经济、最可预测和最环保的技术之一。然而,该技术仍处于开发阶段,导致其应用范围有限,尤其是在水头和流速较低的水力资源方面,如位于墨西哥米却肯州农村地区的 "Centenario de la Revolucion Francisco J. Mugica "大坝灌溉渠。为了估算这一水力资源所能提供的实际能量,我们提出了一种能量转换方法,该方法包括三个主要步骤:利用水渠的年流量持续时间曲线评估水力能量;利用实验测量结果对管道式水力涡轮机进行数值设计;以及选择低速发电机。所设计的水动力涡轮机能够将 78.53% 的可用水能转化为有用能源,农村地区的农业可以直接使用这些能源。
