DEVELOPMENT A MICRO HYDRO POWER SCHEME AT THE WEIR ON BLACK TIMOK

ABSTRACT
The micro hydro power scheme (MHPS), as a practical realization of research project supported from Ministry of Science of the Republic of Serbia, is presented in the paper. MHPS was constructed on the Black Timok (East Serbia) at the deserted weir. MHPS can be used as a model for other similar sites with extremely low head. On this way, the contribution to approaching to Directive EU for renewable energy sources was done. The results of project are summed in the paper. The method of turbine type selection by use of nomogram is presented. The results of dimensions scaling of existing smaller turbine are given. On the base of these results, the turbine of 5 times higher dimensions was designed and made. The results of estimation and measuring the parameters of this turbine are compared. Designed and constructed powerhouse of MHPS, which is jointed to existing weir, is described. The results of energy efficiency and ecological effects analysis of MHPS are given in the paper.
