Definitions
- the invention relates to a system for generating energy by rotating turbines with water flowing through various pipes such as GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) etc.
- GRP Glass Reinforced Plastic
- Electricity generation from water is realized by converting the kinetic energy into electrical energy with the rotation of the turbines by flowing water.
- Hydroelectric power plants that generate electricity from water are divided into two main groups: with and without dams.
- Hydroelectric power plants with dams are the plants where water is stored in a reservoir and, the water is released, and electricity is generated by rotating the turbines when needed.
- Hydroelectric power plants without dams are generally built without a reservoir in places where the water flow rate is high, and they generate electricity directly with the rotation of the turbines by the flowing water.
- the disadvantage of power plants without dams is that they are affected by seasonality.
- Lucid energy a well-known company in the world, has systems installed directly on the line. Their vane structures have the shape of a ball. There is no other known manufacturer. The energy of lines such as irrigation water and drinking water flowing with their own gravity is wasted.
- the abstract of the application number TR2021/006402, which has been obtained as a result of technical research is as follows: "The invention is a new generation hydroelectric power plant designed for electricity generation without the formation of a dam body and dam basin for the hydroelectric power plant wherein it comprises at least one main pool, at least one or more helical spiral pipe, at least one or more motors, at least one or more intermediate pools, at least one or more penstock pipes, at least one or more turbines, at least one or more main shafts, at least one or more helical spiral pipes, at least one or more gear systems, at least one or more bearings, at least one or more bearing seats fixed to the base of the bearing system mounted around the circumference of the helical spiral tubes, at least one or more clamps and at least one or more fixing arms".
- a generally spherical turbine configured to rotate transversely within a cylindrical pipe under the power of fluid flowing either direction therethrough is operatively coupled with a rotating machine or generator to produce electricity.
- the blades of the spherical turbine curve in an approximately 180 degree arc in a plane that is at an inclined angle relative to the rotational axis of a central shaft.
- a deflector is provided upstream of the spherical turbine and within the cylindrical pipe to control flow through the spherical turbine by shielding a part thereof.
- the blades of the spherical turbine are airfoil in cross section to optimize hydrodynamic flow, to minimize cavitation, and to maximize conversion from axial to rotating energy.”
- the application numbered US7959411 B2 provides for power generation with a spherical turbine. In addition, it does not have a structure that allows water to be directed. The power loss is high.
- the water diverter device directs the water to the vane, the water moves upward along the vane, and exits through the outlet opening. Since the angle of the outlet opening is opposite to that of the inlet opening, there is less power loss as the water moves along the vane.
- the objective of the invention is to provide a structure with different technical characteristics, in contrast to the structures used in the current technology and opens up new possibilities in this field.
- the main objective of the invention is to provide electricity generation by installing on water pipes flowing under its own gravity with a different impeller shape in such a way as to minimize the flow characteristics and prevent the energy of the water from being wasted.
- the invention is intended to be one of the few turbine models that can generate electricity from a closed conduit. It will be the first turbine model in Turkey that can generate electricity on closed pressurized lines. It will also be applicable to lines with different diameters and pressures. It will be a pioneer in the world that water turbines can also operate on pressurized lines. Thus, electric power will be produced by manufacturing water turbines made of GRP.
- the invention is a water turbine system for generating power from water flowing through pipes, comprising the following: top cover which covers and seals the top of the water turbine and is attached to body with bolts and nuts, bottom cover which covers and seals the bottom of the water turbine and is attached to the body with bolts and nuts,
- water diverter apparatus placed in the body cavity that forms the inner part of the body, which directs the water coming from the lower water inlet to the upper water outlet,
- impeller shaft which provides fixation for the impeller and rotates the electric generator by means of a gear or belt and pulley mechanism.
- Figure 1 is an exploded view of the water turbine of the invention.
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of the water turbine of the invention.
- the invention relates to a water turbine system which generates energy with the rotation of the turbines by the water flowing through various pipes such as GRP pipes.
- the water turbine which is the subject of the invention, has a top cover (2) which provides sealing by covering the top.
- the top cover (2) is fixed to the body (9) with bolts and nuts (1 ).
- the bottom cover (8) is also fixed to the body (9) with bolts and nuts (1).
- the water diverter apparatus (5), the impeller shaft (3) and the impeller (4) are disposed in the body cavity (9.1), which forms the inner part of the body (9).
- the impeller shaft (3) provides fixation for the impeller (4) and rotates the electric generator by means of a gearbox or belt and pulley mechanism.
- the impeller (4) rotates with water power to generate energy.
- the water diverter apparatus (5) determines the direction of water inlet and outlet.
- the impeller (4) is disposed inside the water diverter apparatus (5). In the embodiment of the invention, the impeller (4) may be in a horizontal or vertical position.
- the number of vanes I vane size in the impeller (4) and the number I size of holes in the water diverter apparatus and the size of the water diverter apparatus may vary according to the pipe diameter and water pressure.
- the lower water inlet (7) on the body (9) allows water to enter the body cavity (9.1 ).
- Upper water outlet (6) located on the body (9) allows water to exit from the body cavity (9.1
- the lower water inlet (7) and upper water outlet (6) are fixed to the pipes.
- the operating principle of the water turbine system subject to the invention is as follows:
- the bottom cover (8) is fixed to the body with the help of nuts and bolts (1 ).
- the water diverter apparatus (5) and impeller (4) are placed inside the body (9) into the body cavity (9.1 ) respectively.
- Impeller shaft (3) is placed into the nested water diverter apparatus (5) and impeller (4).
- the system starts operating with water entering from the lower inlet (7).
- the water diverter apparatus (5) directs the water towards the impeller (4) and rotates the impeller (4).
- the rotating impeller (4) rotates the impeller shaft (3), and the impeller shaft (3) rotates the electric generator with the help of a gearbox or belt and pulley mechanism, and the energy generated is intended to be converted into electrical energy.
- the water inside the turbine exits through the upper outlet (6) and the system continues to operate as long as there is water flow.
