Hydroelectric Turbine Generator
Low Head - High Flow
ES&D, 1500W max, 10 feet head max
Energy Systems and Design has introduced this new generator
specifically for low head high flow applications. The LH1000 employs a brushless,
permanent magnet alternator which is adjustable, enabling the user to match turbine output
to electrical load. It has a higher efficiency than previous alternators, and is
capable of outputs over 1 kW, while requiring virtually no maintenance.
The LH1000 is designed to operate in conjunction with battery-based
power systems. To gain enough head to operate the LH1000, water is channeled into a
sluiceway. A box-shaped sluiceway 1' wide by 1' high will easily handle
the maximum flow of 1000 gpm. The turbine is mounted in a 7" opening in the sluice bottom, with
the draft tube extending to the tailwater below. The draft tube remains
water-solid during operation and actually creates suction pressure on the
turbine. The water and pressure difference turns the propeller,
creating shaft power. This, in turn, powers the generator, producing electricity.
ESD's microhydro systems employ high efficiency, precision-cast
parts, and non-corrosive alloys for long life and durability. A digital multimeter
accompanies each turbine for measuring output. These units can be used in
stand-alone, or grid-tied systems. Product made in Canada.
