Estimated Power Output from a Simplified Pico Hydropower System

Alex Okibe Edeoja, Joshua Sunday Ibrahim & Lawrence Ochonu · Journal of Energy Research and Reviews · 2018

Based on the results of no-load tests carried out on a simplified Pico hydropower system currently undergoing development, on-load tests were carried out. A turbine of runner diameter 0.40 m, penstock diameters in the range  and nozzle area ratios in the range  were used for the...

Turbine Dimensionless Coefficients and the Net Head/Flow Rate Characteristic for a Simplified Pico Hydro Power System

Alex Okibe Edeoja, Matthew Ekoja & Joshua Sunday Ibrahim · Journal of Engineering Research and Reports · 2018

The basic operational parameters of a simplified pico-hydropower system with provision for water recycling were investigated. Five simplified turbine of runner diameters 0.45, 0.40, 0.35, 0.30 and 0.25 m were designed, locally fabricated, and tested in conjunction with five PVC p...
