Educational Hydro Energy Power Plant Training Unit (EDC-HYD-30)

Water turbines are turbomachines utilizing water power. Such turbines convert the pressure energy of water into kinetic energy entirely in the distributor. During the conversion, the water jet is accelerated in a nozzle and directed onto the blades of the turbine wheel tangentially. The impulse of the water jet is transmitted to the turbine wheel. The unit consist of a storage tank and a water pump to simulate a dam reservoir, a Cross Flow turbine, a generator which is connected to the turbine, a lamp load bank a dynamometer, and measuring instrument. Pelton turbine has efficiency greater than Cross Flow, Kaplan and Francis.

Unit has

Standalone LCD with touch panel
Touch LCD will display the turbine rotor speed, generator output voltage and current, load control and other parameters on the process schematic diagram.

A PC data acquisition (EDSM-30S) is also available (Optional).
