Educational Hydroelectric Micro Station — MOE Lab Tender Details

Educational Hydroelectric Micro Station

Analysis and study of industrial components (Turgo turbine, voltage regulator).
Study performance.
Measure different types of energy.
Observe hydroelectric phenomena.
Highlight electrical and hydraulic laws.
Exploitation and adjustment.
The operational part of the micro-station comprises :
A tank.
A multi-cellular centrifugal pump.
A pipework assembly, flowmeter and pressure sensor enable simulation of the waterfall in the form of a forced pipe.
A turbine equipped with a Turgo wheel consisting of 20 buckets and two injection pipes with manual regulation of the needle openings. These are essential as they enable modification of the output of each pipe and selection of the use of one or two pipes. This makes it possible to highlight aspects of the turbine’s performance in accordance with changes to the output of the forced pipe and configuration of the injection pipes.
A porthole window enables observation of the different hydraulic phenomena.
On the upper side of the turbine there is a LEROY SOMER three-phase asynchronous generator.
The whole operational part is mounted on a frame equipped with industrial casters.
The control part comprises:
An electric cabinet containing the buttons and components necessary for the installation’s safety and proper functioning.
A frequency variation drive to control the pump.
A voltage regulator for dealing with the current produced by the generator.
A voltage converter for converting to the network’s standard level.
A power analyzer measurement station, which enables display of quantities like current, voltage, power, active power, reactive power, active energy, reactive energy, frequency.
A domestic socket enables simulation of domestic electricity consumption.
A battery of four 230V /40W electricity consumers with switches.
A battery connection.
