TecQuipment - Model AE1000V -Hydro-Electric Turbine for Renewable Energy Demonstrations

SHARE
The TecQuipment Hydro-Electric Turbine AE1000V is a robust, self-contained floor-standing apparatus designed to facilitate the understanding of hydro-electric power generation. Consisting of a water tank, propeller turbine, and a pump, this system provides practical demonstrations vital to comprehending hydroelectric energy conversion principles. It includes a diaphragm valve for water flow control, linked with pressure sensors and flow meters for monitoring system performance. Designed for educational purposes, this unit allows for the exploration of power and efficiency calculations via VDAS® Onboard. Users can experiment with various propeller designs, enhancing the investigative learning experience. The control panel enables operation adjustments and is equipped with a display unit for real-time data metrics, such as voltage, current, and speed, offering insights into system efficiencies and energy audits through simulations like variable load conditions and domestic consumption. It caters to detailed explorations of hydrodynamic, electrical, and overall system efficiencies.

The AE1000V Hydro-Electric Turbine is a self-contained, floor-standing system consisting of a water tank, propeller turbine and pump mounted below the pump controls, sensors, generator, control panel and turbine.

Water flows around the system controlled by a diaphragm valve on the system bench. The water passes through a pressure sensor and flow meter which are connected, along with the generator output, to VDAS® Onboard for analysis and the calculation of power and speed. From the generator constants, power and efficiency can be calculated.

The turbine is fitted to the left-hand end of the bench. The propeller is fixed on a shaft within a see-through enclosure and connects directly to the generator which is located between the turbine and the back plate. The turbine is supplied with five standard propellers. Information is provided for the user to design and 3D-print their own propellers for further experimentation.

A system mimic is displayed on the backplate.

The control box features a display screen for reading experiment inputs as well as output measurements, such as current, voltage, power and speed. A VDAS® output allows connection to a computer via USB. The control box also contains a light bank for visualisation of the power generated.

Controls for the operation of the product are on the control panel for:

  • Pump on/off
  • Light bank switches
