This 4 nozzle micro hydro system is making 500 plus watts of power for an of grid cabin in the woods. First up is the intake. A stainless steel Coanda screen pulls over 200 gallons per minute to reduce the debris that enters the system. Next is a 4" penstock to carry the water from the source to the pma or permanent magnet alternator. This PMA has four nozzles that sweep around the unit on all sides. The water jets made by these nozzles push the spoons or cups on the pelton wheel. Wild 3 phase AC power is sent to the house. A rectifier converts the wild ac to direct current. This is used by the charge controller to store in the battery and finally be used in the house from an 8kw off grid inverter.

This hydro system is 24X7X365 active and can be made to output much more, for a fraction of the cost of the solar system. I would opt for this solution anytime over solar.

It's likely not usable as 3 phase. Probably too high a frequency. This is the reason for the rectification, and subsequent inverter. If it was 60 Hz there'd be no need for that intermediate step. The point is, no 3 phase motors allowed.

that battery isnt necessary for hydro setups. i wonder if they have solar as well because 12kw a day from hydro isn't enough unless they're extremely minimalist and efficient. if you have sufficient hydro power you can get by just fine with a much smaller battery because water flows at night too. solar needs huge batteries because of no power generation at night. similar option if you have a reservoir that doesn't have enough flow for all day you can use solar and open the water valve at night too to save on battery costs but that doesn't work with streams

@jeffjefferson2676 Год назад

Having a piece of land with a lot of height difference and a creek has a lot of added value because you can get a lot of electricity, and its constant. Pretty good! I would surely add solar panels too, and build an indoor greenhouse if I had that much free power. 500 watts all day long can probably run all appliances of the house you run each day while they are not on all day long. Greetings, Jeff

@YamiKisara 11 месяцев назад

You can always build a mini-dam (just a tub to catch the water, really) to balance out the lack of a height difference - I reckon it's better to build it either way, because creeks don't have a constant flow of water year-round and you'd wanna account for that fluctuation.

@asdfasdf-dd9lk 11 месяцев назад

@@YamiKisara Not how that works, you can't artificially add height difference, the energy comes from the change in height of the water from the source to the drain. This takes advantage of all of the 50ft of head using that pipe, which is superior to a dam. In terms of a small scale energy storage solution (since 500W isn't enough for most appliances, but averaged over the day and night ought to be more than enough) would be a battery, since a dam for energy storage simply isn't reactive enough to fluctuate to power, say, a toaster or something.

@GEEZYEA777 11 месяцев назад

I think more experimentation needs to be done on the impulse wheel. I feel there is more energy available than you are getting. Perhaps a jet turban inside the pipe with thru shaft to the outside thru a 45 degree bend to generator. Or, a turgo runner, instead of a pelton. The problem with pelton is that it relies on head pressure, but resist the flow. Water has to slow down to get the job done. It’s like getting lots of amps, but slow volts. Very nice set up!

This is so joyous to watch! Hehe. Having a private hydroelectric dam was a bit of a childhood dream of mine, during an obsessive phase with dams (and all kinds of civil engineering). We'd drive past farms with quite large dams on family holidays, and visit the real things, which naturally got me thinking, "you could scale that down ... ". So glad it's something people actually do. But I have a point of personal confusion. It generates 3-phase AC ... which is rectified to DC ... to charge batteries ... which discharge DC ... which will then require alternation to 110/240VAC. It seems almost impossible to build more losses into a system. Hehe. Surely the creek flow isn't so intermittent as to allow _require_ batteries (though, they'd be useful in a backup role). Having a transformer for direct conversion to 110/240VAC (and even a 3-phase outlet for any high current requirements) would have to be the ideal setup, right? Even mechanical storage using a flywheel UPS kinda deal seems to make more sense to me. But I have a total of zero training, and even less knowledge in this field, so please forgive the naivety of my questions/comments.

@jonclement 10 месяцев назад

You'd be limited to 500 watts of power (ie/ my 1 computer draws 500) without battery and no power during any maintenance. Flywheel? Nope, steer clear of more mechanical storage. That lifepo4 stack would likely run the place for 1 month without water (but I forget how many kw).

@PBeringer 10 месяцев назад

@@jonclement Ahh, thanks for that explanation, I've got it now. The battery storage essentially permits an increase in the available power. To someone like me, who doesn't know anything about it, it just seems like so many lossy steps. But now I get the reason(s). Now I'm curious to find out the maximum power anyone's ever generated at the turbine in a similar(ish) micro hydro setup. Doubt it's more than 1kW.

Im using 12 volt bilge pumps to move the water over the wheel that'll be spinning 2 alternators. One alternator for main batteries and home inverter. The second will be charging the backup battery for the water wheel as well as topping off current use pack. Couple this with four 450 watt panels to run during peak light and couple the wheel to a ten speed gearing system and I can use a 12 volt gear reduction motor for back up and efficiency. I can control the speed of the wheel/ alternators. Once started, the system should run continuously.
