All, I have painstakingly taken measurements of a stream I have rights to in the Pacific Northwest for the past year. Thus far my lowest flow is 18.4 cu. ft. sec. in summer and many more times that in spring. I have made allot of calculations pertaining to the theoretical energy I could harvest. Here are some numbers:
HEAD IN FT: 280 PSI @ BOTTOM: 120 LENGTH OF PIPE: 688 GRID TYPE: OFF-GRID Could I get some of your thoughts on what this would be capable of? Size of AC 240/480 generator, what size of pipe should I use, type of turbine? And another question, I have read allot about ballast or shunt loads, for instance if the above was capable of a 50kw generator, what would be a good ballast / shunt load?
