Whirlpool Hydropower Plant Part 2

The whirlpool hydropower plant uses the flow of water in a river to turn a submersible turbine and generator, producing electricity continuously as long as water is flowing. It is eco-friendly and requires simple, easy maintenance as its main parts are easily accessible. This small hydropower plant is well-suited to provide electricity for rural households near rivers in a sustainable way without manual labor.

Whirlpool Hydropower Plant

INTRODUCTION

Among several options for rural electrification, a small - hydropower


plants have a special place for their ability to generate energy
continuously provided the rated flow. And this whirlpool is among one
of this hydropower generating plants that can easily be helpful to many
houses in rural areas , specially the once that live near rivers.

WORKING PRINCIPLE
The rotor in a whirlpool turbine is turned by the flow of water, which
forms a vortex. A submersible generator is then used to extract the
energy from the water and produce electricity. The whirlpool turbine's
construction ensures that fish and other animal life can travel through it.

ADVANTAGES:
 It’s Eco friendly
 It requires simple maintenance cares
 Checking and cleaning are easy, because of the main parts are
screwed.
 Handling is easy.
 Manual power not required to keep it going
 Repairing is easy.
 Replacement of parts is easy.

CONCLUSION
This project work will provided us with an excellent opportunity and
experience, to use our knowledge. We will gain a lot of practical
knowledge regarding, planning, purchasing, assembling and machining
while doing this project work. I feel that the project work is a good
solution to help the rural area be more suitable and less harsh by
providing households with electricity.
