About This Product
✅Overview💁♀️
Small-scale hydropower generation, developed with Nagasaki University Graduate School of Engineering and West Japan Fluid Engineering Co., Ltd., can be installed in many locations such as hydroelectric power plant discharge water, industrial water, and agricultural water, and can generate stable distributed energy. Another advantage is that procedures for obtaining water rights are relatively simple.
Although the developed small hydroelectric power generation system has an initial cost, the maintenance and management costs are relatively low, so it not only requires no effort and provides stable income over a long period of time, but also provides self-sufficiency as a carbon-neutral base load power source. can.
✅ Effective use of natural energy 💁♀️
In general, hydroelectric power generation has an extremely high energy conversion efficiency of 60-80% compared to other power generation methods, and it generates power stably 24 hours a day, making it the most stable power generation among natural energies. I can say that it is possible. Equipped with a mechanism that can automatically change the layout of the water turbine according to flow rate fluctuations will further improve profitability.
✅Many installation locations and fast return on investment💁♀️
It can be installed in many locations such as hydroelectric power plant discharge water, industrial water, and agricultural canals, and the equipment does not deteriorate as long as it is properly maintained, so compared to real estate investment or solar power generation, it can provide a stable return on investment over a long period of time. Masu. In addition, you can earn stable profits even after collection. There are small hydroelectric power generation systems that have been active in Japan for over 150 years.
✅ Environmentally friendly 💁♀️
Unlike solar power generation, it does not emit large amounts of CO2 during manufacturing, nor does it emit greenhouse gases during power generation. There is no need for large-scale civil engineering works like the conventional installation of hydroelectric power generation, and there is no impact on the ecosystem. In addition, it is completely domestically produced and almost recyclable.
✅ Can be installed even with low head and low flow rate 💁♀️
Since the blade shape can be optimized depending on the flow rate (flow velocity) even in places where there is said to be almost no head difference, it can be installed in unexplored areas that have been overlooked until now. By using a unique mechanism, it is possible to make effective use of flow velocity, resulting in less wasted energy (compared to conventional types). In addition, stable power generation efficiency can be achieved even when there are fluctuations in flow rate. (Automatic operation is also possible)
✅Easy to maintain 💁♀️
The dust passes through from upstream to downstream of the water turbine. Regular oil changes and replacement of consumables are required.
✅Fish ladders can also be secured and consideration can be given to biodiversity💁♀️
There is a certain amount of clearance between the battlements and the waterwheel, so consultation with an expert is required in advance, but this allows consideration for fish swimming upstream.
✅ Good power generation efficiency 💁♀️
We conducted numerical analysis, fluid analysis, and model experiments with research institutes and universities specializing in fluids in a low-head environment, and commercialized the optimized product. Evidence also makes presentations at academic conferences. Additionally, the unit design allows it to handle wide rivers. (River water gate drop works, etc.)
