| Summary: | Use of renewable energi in Indonesia is still not enough. Very-low-head
turbines is one solution gaining benefit of energi sources considering the
potential of microhydro in this country. The advantage of this system are work
at low elevation, it can be attached to water canal and solve complex civil
construction problems on previous design.
Very-low-head turbines have several components that must be well
designed. These components are guide vane, rotor runner, civil construction,
and electrical components in energi generation sistems. In this final project will
be discussed regarding the design of guide vane and rotor runner. The process
of designing fixed blade and blade motion using the approach in the design of
vertical type axial turbine.
Application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in the process of
turbine blades design made to simulate the design model. With this
simulation, it can be seen on the turbine performance at design operating
conditions on the model and also obtain optimum turbine performance. The
simulation results have a turbine efficiency of 84.2%, not much different from
the design with 86% efficiency. |
