Diseño de un hidrogenerador para zonas rurales

Abstract

Abstract: The present final degree project is of a research nature and is part of the design of a hydrogenerator, whose system is formed by a mechanical part where a hydraulic and an electric turbine is located consisting of a generator, voltage regulator and a storage battery. The elaboration of this final degree project required information from different bibliographic sources with similar studies which allowed to obtain a fundamental theoretical basis for the development of this. Later itwas proceeded to make the selection and sizing of the components with their respective calculations and design of their parts. A certain experimental part was also carried out where the flow value (Q) could be obtained after several tests, values that were of importance for the sizing of certain components such as the hydraulic turbine. Finally, the design of a prototype of a hydrogenerator was obtained with certain characteristics that make it unique such as size, which facilitates its transfer to ruralareas of difficult access and the simplicity of its components that facilitate its use. In this way mitigates part of a problem that all rural sectors of the country go through when they see all their daily and labor activities limited by electric current.
