Abstract

Nowadays, hydropower plays a very vital role in development of human civilization, the power demand increase with the improvement of living standards of the human. The hydropower is known as the most environnmental friendly energy source among the others. The objective of this project is to design and fabricate an efficient rotating system for mini hydro power turbine, there are a lot of problem of hydro turbine found in rugged area, such as low efficiency power output or low availability. Hence, a reliable, convenience and high efficiency mini hydro power turbine is designed and fabricated in this project. The project scopes is select the best material to fabricate an high effiency rotating system for mini hydro power turbine based on their characteristics. Different types of transmission is compared to gather more information on the efficiency of the rotating system. Furthermore, the virtual prototype of the mini hydro power turbine is fabricated by computer-aided design. The spur gear is designed bu using SolidWorks software. The material that used in fabrication of spur gear is Polyamide 12, it can resist high presssure and corrosion. The overall efficiency of mini hydro power turbine is calculated and the factor that affect the efficiency is discussed as well.
