Project Summary

Running water has a lot of potentials to make electricity. If this power is tapedeconomically, it could be very useful. Worldwide research is going on to design and build more efficient plants and fair amount of budget is spent in this context. The proposedproject is one part of an interdisciplinary project. One part deals with design and fabrication of a zero head turbine (Kaplan turbine) by Mechanical Engineering studentsand another part to design and fabricate a low RPM generator by Electrical Engineering student. Our project is to design and fabricate 300W low rpm single phase generator for zero head turbine. This generator will be mounted on the turbine for its performance evaluation and ultimately completion of the project.

Project Objectives

1. Designing of low RPM generator
2. Fabrication of generator
3. Testing of generator
4. Performance evaluation of generator

Project Implementation Method

Step 1: Electrical Design --- Field and armature winding design, core design

Step 2: Fabrication

Step 3: Testing

Step 4: Mounting on the zero head turbine and performance evaluation.

Benefits of the Project

• Cost effective design low speed generator for zero head turbine.
• Successful completion of the project will provide the opportunity to tap the energy of running water.
• Beneficial for the community
