Building a prototype for functional analysis of the energy potential of the water flow in pipe ½ “using microturbines applied to Unidades Tecnológicas de Santander

Abstract

Abstract The project aims to build a working prototype for analysis of potential energy of water flow in pipe ½ “by using micro tangential turbines with a loss running low, constituting a small-scale model for the study power generation thereof, setting parameters related to a hydraulic distribution system operation residential drinking water. Taking advantage of the electric power, a microturbine is obtained by decanting flow through it. The research methodology is descriptive quantitative approach, to develop the project initially performed a literature review, followed by identification of the electrical variables and characteristics of the prototype to generate a simulation of a real hydraulic circuit, it followed this comes the recognition and selection of the elements for retrofitting. Thus, as looking through prototype and analysis of the energy potential, generating an academic, social and environmental impact on the institution; since being pioneers in this type of project it is expected to generate the conceptual foundations in the community, enabling understanding of the use of this resource and future implementation. social and environmental in the institution; since being pioneers in this type of project it is expected to generate the conceptual foundations in the community, enabling understanding of the use of this resource and future implementation. social and environmental in the institution; since being pioneers in this type of project it is expected to generate the conceptual foundations in the community, enabling understanding of the use of this resource and future implementation.
