Dear friends,
After 3 months of waiting, I finally got the information I was expecting from
The DRCongo. The river I am interested in has a fall of at least 15 meters and
a flow of 10 cubic meters per second during the dry season. We intend to build
a small dam to retain enough water to run our plant with a constant flow of 9
cubic meter per second.
I need your help:
- to evaluate the power potential in KW at the site
- to select the appropriate turbines and generators
- to select the cheapest but most relyable Penstocks ( diameter, type of
material wether pvc or steel pipe)
- to calculate the Head lost in the penstock ( depending on the type of
material used for the penstocks)
- and to calculate the effective electrical power that will be produced.
I am thinking of installing 3 turbines, 2 will be operating and one will be on
stand by. Is this reasonnable? The site is at a very remote location far away
from any major town. The power will be used to run a small industry in the
rural area and to provide light for the inhabitants of the nearby villages.
Thanks
Willy L. Mwamba
