Thanks Nando and George. Yes, George, I have 70 meters of head and an average 110 liters of flow. My site is a creek that flows over a ridge, dammed at the...
hello all, tomorrow you may expect a summary of the article in english. it may not be linguistically perfect as english is not my native language, but it will...
Hi gang. I thought the Google translation did a great job, with most untranslatable stuff being unimportant (at least to me). The only thing that was missing...
Dear Group I have posted an intro to the basic principles of nmicro-hydro on the web site www.off-grid.net - I'd really apreciate your comments as to whether...
michael, translating technical stuff and exactidude is quite a chore indeed if you say the google-translation is ok, most of us should be happy with that. ...
Hello, Can anyone pls tell me how to select a HDPE penstoke, for example If I know that I need a flow of 25 l/s and there is a head of 40meters and the...
hi this is kishan from Nepal. i m new member in this group. i m an electrical engineering student. well, the question i have is that. i m trying to make a...
I have a grid connected 3 phase induction motor driven by Francis turbine. It is run up to synchronous speed by water before engaging the main breaker. I can...
I suspect that you only have two phase available at your site and you are connected to the grid by delta connection giving you a pseudo three phase connection....
Martin: You are not giving enough information to really determine what you have, BUT the 427 volts with 58 Amps and PF=0.9 seems to be the optimum operating ...

Full 3 phase connection. If one phase was lost I would not get 400 + V at each one. Power factor measured by GE F650 bay controller (similar to new W650 for...
Thanks Nando I always appreciate your comments. Gilkes 450 mm Francis turbine series 'C' Head 8 m Flow 1.3 m3/s Gilkes manual says 380 RPM Pulley 4 to 1 Can...
The site gives 8 * 1.3 * 9.81 = 102 Gross KW 427 V* 58 A = 24.77 Kw * 3 = 74.2 KW withan efficiency of about 72.7 % which is good indeed. I presume that You...

Martin I have seen a similar problem performance caused by a faulty transformer tap changer - where one phase was not changing with the others. So - does the...
Hello All, I received this message below from Joe Hartvigsen a few weeks ago and he has not responded since to my request for details about his royalty rights....
I am assuming you are serious. The short answer is no. The only possible ways you could make a 12V alternator work in this application would be to over-speed...
... You will normally need an alternator of the same voltage as the rest of the system. The battery and inverter and charge controller all need to be 48 volt...
3 of my 4 turbines are ford alts running a 48 v system, they were rewound for 48vdc (the orig style of Harris Hydro turbines) ... From: "Randy Bonner"...
I may be a bit off, But if you have a set of 4 12 volt batteries, you could charge them with a twelve volt alternator, and then wire the output to get 48 volt...
