Ultra-low-head hydroelectric technology: A review

Journal Article Zhou, Daqing ; Deng, Zhiqun - Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews

In recent years, distributed renewable energy-generation technologies, such as wind and solar, have developed rapidly. Nevertheless, the utilization of ultra-low-head (ULH) water energy (i.e., situations where the hydraulic head is less than 3 m or the water flow is more than 0.5 m/s with zero head) has received little attention. We believe that, through technological innovations and cost reductions, ULH hydropower has the potential to become an attractive, renewable, and sustainable resource. This paper investigates potential sites for ULH energy resources, the selection of relevant turbines and generators, simplification of civil works, and project costs. This review introduces the currentmore »« less

Demonstration of scroll motor advantages for ultra low-head hydroelectric power generation. Project period September 1980-November 1981. Final report

Technical Report McCullough, J E ; Dieckmann, J T

The purpose of this project was to investigate the potential advantages of an ultra low-head hydroelectric power generator utilizing a scroll motor. The scope of this effort consisted of analytical and hardware development activities leading to the design, fabrication, and testing of a laboratory model scroll hydraulic motor. The model scroll motor was designed, built, and tested at fluid heads up to 10 ft and speeds up to 270 RPM. The maximum shaft power output of the motor was 400 W. Hydraulic power was converted to shaft power with efficiencies between 30% and 40% with maximum efficiency achieved at amore »« less
Optimization of a diffuser/ejector for ultra low-head hydroelectric systems. Final report

Technical Report Moses, H L ; Haynes, W E ; Myatt, R L ; ...

An investigation of head augmentation for ultra low-head hydroelectric systems by use of an ejector in the diffuser, or draft tube, is described. A detailed analytical and experimental study of flow in the ejector, which consisted of a conical diffuser with a peripheral wall jet, was conducted. Based on these results, an overall system analysis was developed and compared with experimental results from a small, axial-flow turbine. Finally, a brief economic analysis was made to determine the advantage, if any, of the ejector system. It was determined that an appreciable increase in head could be achieved and predicted by themore »« less
Technological status and legal/regulatory aspects of low-head hydroelectric power development in Missouri

Conference Morris, C D ; Weiss, G E - Annu. UMR-DNR Conf. Energy, (Proc.); (United States)

This paper will present the broad overview of hardware availability, systems design and legal/regulatory constraints presently connected with the development of small hydropower systems in water rich areas such as southeastern Missouri. The topic is of particular interest to Missourians because of the vast number of small streams present in Missouri. 20 refs.
Hydroelectric: economic, technical comparison of low head hydroelectric systems

Journal Article Bouyneau, M - Spec. Eng.; (United States)

As an alternative electric energy source, low head rivers and other water-power energy sources are receiving growing attention. Harnessing or upgrading these small scale, low head hydroelectric installations is necessary in order to compete with today's energy market. Improvements have come about by using turbines with a different and simplified technology from that developed for classic turbines. Turbine types for use in small scale, low head hydroelectric plants as energy recovery systems are presented and compared from economical and technical viewpoints, and typical installation units are described.
