Diseño e implementación de un sistema para aprovechamiento hidro-energético en redes de distribución usando microturbinas para la energización de sistemas de telemetría.

Abstract

This degree thesis details the design and implementation of a prototype for hydro-energetic use in water distribution networks. The prototype is composed of two systems. On one hand, the generation system, which is in charge of transforming kinetic energy of water into electrical energy using microturbines, charge regulators and batteries. The second one is the drive and telemetry system. It controls whether the generation units turn on or off as well as allowing remote monitoring of electrical parameters such as power, voltage and current of each unit. The device that monitors the generation units is connected to the charge controller through an RS232 interface and enables acquiring the desired electrical parameters to later store them in an Internet of things platform so that they can be visualize through the Internet.
