Calculation of Water Wheel Design Parameters for Micro Hydroelectric Power Station

Abstract

This paper is devoted to the issues such as modelling the design parameters and operating modes and improving the design of micro hydroelectric power plants operating in low-pressure water flow. Taking into consideration above-mentioned issues, it is possible to increase the efficiency of using low-pressure water energy systems. The main dimensions of the water wheel of a micro hydropower plant depend on the water flow velocity v, water volume Q, acting at a fixed point in time on the water wheel blade, and also on the depth of the water level H.
