Innovation Type - hydrolelectric power station having complex vertical rotor with the hydrodynamic profile blades, regulated with regard to the direction of water streams

Potential beneficiaries - Power consumers situated close to rivers (farmers, small business in rural localities)

WHY NEW HYDROELECTRIC POWER STATION?

It is much simpler, more handily to install and operate! Hydroelectric power station involves the fixed platform with the possibility of its position regulation with relation to the level of flowing water, on which generator, centrifugal pump and multiplier is installed. The vertical shaft is connected to these. On the free end of the shaft the complex vertical motor is placed, containing the vertical axis, on which the blades are arranged with the hydrodynamic profile in normal section. The blades are connected with the mechanism for their orientation with regard to the flowing water. The platform is mounted on the river bank with the help of equipment assembled from four elements.
The idea to create the rotor with blades having the hydrodynamic profile have appeared as a result of computer modeling of blades interaction with water for various blades designs and kinematics parameter of flux. As a result of multi-criteria analysis, the possibility was shown to increase the coefficient of water kinetic energy transformation (Betz coefficient) by adequate selection of blades hydrodynamic profile and their optimal orientation towards the water flux at the different phases of rotor rotation.

ADVANTAGES

• Hydroelectric power station does not require the dam construction
• Zero negative impact in water environment
• High kinetic power conversion coefficient of flowing water (Betz coefficient)
• Possibility to install the network of hydroelectric power stations along the river
• Simplicity and poly-functionality of design, equipment may be used to generate electric and mechanic power (for water pumping).
