Construction of Kaplan turbine test bench for mini hydraulic power generation

The general objective of the work was the design, development, and construction of a Test Bench for Kaplan type turbines suitable to be installed in a rural environment, through which we can check if the characteristics of the turbines are ideal to meet the generation goals of electrical power required. To carry out this purpose, a Kaplan-type turbine prototype was designed and built-in order to install it in our Test Bench and verify that this Bench is adequate to check the operation of the turbine subjected to different input conditions and for Therefore, this will help us to arrive at an ideal turbine design to take advantage of the mechanical energy of water and therefore the generation of electrical energy. This is a project that was developed with the design objectives from scratch to the physical creation of a test bench for turbines, specifically for a Kaplan type turbine where tests can be carried out in a controlled environment where new designs are put into practice. of turbines to know their operation in a scaled manner and then be able to take them to production and installation in different regions.
