A Comprehensive Prototype Design of Hydroelectric Power Station for Floating-Cages Energy Resources

Abstract

This paper reported the design of a prototype of hydroelectric power station integrated in floating cages which will permanently developed in crowded of floating cages in Kampar river. The prototype was successfully created by using acrylic material with the thickness of 5mm. The examination Results shows that the prototype was working normally resulting the average voltage of 2.5 volt. Three difference wheel diameters were used for testing, and it found that the electrical current was increases as the increment of the diameter size. A designed sensor system works based on a microcontroller for detecting the water flow velocity, from the observation, the flow was 2.42 m/s. Certainly this prototype is very useful for designing the hydroelectric power station in area of floating cages at Kampar river.
