Implementación de un microgenerador hidroeléctrico para el LTI - ESFOT (Módulo 1).

Abstract

In this work, the principle of hydroelectric generation is applied, which is used on a large scale in our country thanks to the hydrographic advantage. The main objective is the construction of a micro hydroelectric generator that allows taking advantage of the kinetic energy of water for the production of electric energy, especially in places without access to this type of energy, focusing on the supply of an electric load demand. Important design aspects have been considered such as generation power, type of system based on an Archimedes screw, accessibility and cost of materials for the development, design and manufacture of the generator; in addition, the PicoPica 10 model manufactured by the Japanese company Sumino Co. dedicated to the manufacture of transport material has been taken as a reference, which has been adapted to the previously established needs, allowing to have a system suitable for the generation of clean and renewable energy. As a result, a model that takes advantage of a reduced water flow is obtained, since tests of operation were carried out with a water pump through a liquid recirculation system, obtaining a sustainable design that contemplates the care of water, all this is of vital importance for the generation of electric energy through renewable energies. In this way it is established that the constructed system represents a first step in the development of micro-hydraulic energy for applications in rural areas, where there is no access to electricity.
