Abstract:
Standard centrifugal Dumps may be operated in reverse as water turbines, and for hydroelectric plums of less than 100 kW (micro- hydro) they are often cheaper than specifically designed turbines. However, in order to use a pump in a micro-hydro scheme, the turbine performance-must be found either by testing or by calculation. Several methods have been suggested for predicting the turbine performance based on the data for pump performance at best efficiency, but they produce a wide range of results. In this paper, eight such methods are compared using an analysis of the effects of poor turbine

Abstract:
Abstract The national grid of Nepal faces several hurdles during its operation, especially in remote areas of hilly and mountain region. Citizens face blackouts of days to weeks, due disturbances caused in the grid in those regions. Micro hydro can be a very strategic backup for the national grid in those regions. However, due to lack of subsidy, which used to be provided in the past, for development of micro hydro, micro developers are unable to afford the construction cost of the micro hydro. Thus using Pumps that are readily available in the market at a much cheaper price, compared to custo

Storage technologies are an emerging element in the further expansion of renewable energy generation. A decentralized micro-pumped storage power plant can reduce the load on the grid and contribute to the expansion of renewable energies. This paper establishes favorable boundary conditions for the economic operation of a micro-pump storage (MPS) system. The evaluation is performed by means of a custom-built simulation model based on pump and turbine maps which are either given by the manufacturer, calculated according to rules established in studies, or extended using similarity laws.

Traditional energy supply infrastructures are on the brink of facing a major transformation due to energy security concerns, environment pollution, renewable energy intermittency and fossil fuel scarcity. A hybrid energy system constitutes the integration of different energy carriers like electricity, heat and fuel which play a vital role in addressing the above challenges. Various technological options like combined heat and power, heat pumps, electrolysers and energy storages ease out multiple carrier integration in an energy hub to increase system flexibility and efficiency.

Abstract:
Pumps As Turbines (PATs) are a class of unconventional hydraulic turbines consisting of standard water pumps working in reverse mode as the prime mover. Such devices can be well suited for either in-pipe energy recovery or small-scale hydropower, but their practical application is hampered by the lack of comprehensive guidelines able to assist the designer in the determination of the optimal plant layout and the choice of equipment. In fact, the performances of a PAT will depend on factors such as its construction type, its size and the flow conditions under which the machine is expected to op

Abstract:
Abstract Pumped Hydro Energy Storage (PHES) technology has been used since early 1890s and is, nowadays, a consolidated and commercially mature technology. PHES systems allow energy to be stored by pumping water from a lower-to a higher-level reservoir. Subsequently, this energy can be released through a turbine placed in a penstock, which connects the two reservoirs, to produce energy. Although these plants have historically been employed at large power scales (in the order of hundreds of MW), in recent years, micro- and small-scale plants are becoming more interesting, due to their possibili

The use of reverse-running pumps as turbines (PATs) is a promising technology for small-scale hydropower. This thesis reviews the published knowledge about PATs and deals with some areas of uncertainty that have hampered their dissemination, especially in 'developing' countries. Two options for accommodating seasonal flow variations using PATs are examined and compared with using conventional turbines (that have flow control devices). This has been done using financial parameters, and it is shown' that, under typical conditions, PATs are more economic. The various published techniques for pred

Water energy is essential for economic expansion and human development. Social progress and economic growth depend on meeting water energy needs sustainably. The use of non renewable energy sources for pumping water to high heads from a low head (surface flow or groundwater) has led to a global imbalance, leaving society vulnerable to an uncertain future. The thesis aims to bypass electrical energy for pumping water in a niche region of people near river basins, promoting interdependence and minimizing consumption.

This deficit is creating huge difficulties for the consumers as electrical power load shedding has become a norm in all over the country. Currently only about 33% of the total power is being produced by hydro sources and major electric power is still produced by burning oil and gas. The hydro potential of Pakistan is estimated to be about 41 GW, out of which 1,290 MW can be generated by micro-hydro systems. These potential off grid micro-hydro systems are

Increasing interest in renewable energy sources makes attractive the exploitation of many small power hydraulic resources (micro-hydro – less than 100 kW). However, the high cost of hydraulic turbines hinders the actual realization of micro-hydro plants. An alternative cheaper solution could be to replace the turbine with a reverse-mode centrifugal pump, developing therefore a pump as turbine (PAT) system.

Simulated PAT performance covered a range of flow rates, from one to three times that of pump best efficiency point (BEP), for blade angles of 0 and ± 4°. The PAT BEP was located at a flow rate of 1.4 times that of pump BEP and a head of 1.6 times. For the specific site this corresponded to a shaft
