Item Description

Features

• The turbine-generator unit is equipped with a 6-jet water distribution system. In correspondence of each jet, a nozzle or a cap can be installed, thus modifying the geometry with which the water hits the turbine. Nozzles of different diameter are provided.
• 3 jets can be externally intercepted
• The turbine-generator unit can be disconnected from the system, for drawing the external characteristic curve.

Energy saving and environmental pollution reduction are crucial global issues. Using renewable energies as alternative sources to fossil fuels can address both issues, with great benefits especially in countries where traditional energy sources are scarce.

Sci-tech Hydro-Electric Power Plant Model BSG 017 enables experimental investigation on the conversion of hydraulic energy into electricity by means of a Pelton turbine. The system configuration is stand- alone (isolated from the grid). The equipment is manufactured using real components available on the market.

Operating Principle

• If no load is connected to the system, all the produced energy is dissipated in air or used to charge the battery pack, to be ordered separately.
• In case some loads are connected to the system, the produced energy partially feeds the loads and partially charges the battery pack (optional item) or is dissipated in air.
• When the consumption is higher than the power available from the water, the power surplus is given by the battery pack (optional item).
