Canals and Streams for power generation using Hydrokinetic turbines
Canals are cost-effectively sterile channels constructed for the useful purpose of draining rainwater and snow melt . In actual terms it is far away from main rivers and the main objective behind delivering it to farmers, factories, and households . The experimental hydrokinetic turbine is an model of an upcoming technology that can rapidly become commonplace in the canals that network large swaths of countries. Irrigation canals are best location for Hydrovolts hydrokinetic turbine.
In this process as the basic principle follows, as soon as water streams down the canal, a turbine connected to it spins , which in turn generates electricity . The device is set up on the right above canal’s concrete floor. This is widely used in U.S for example Roza canal in Washington here Hydro volts turbine was set up. This canal is connected with the Yakima river which delivers approx 136,000 acres of farmland in entire Washington. Hydrokinetic technology is yet to be in its formative years but power generated canals is useful in reducing the amount of fossil fuels utilized to manage the water.
Benefits :-
Hydrovolts turbines can offer communities electrical power required in necessary amount . Even though a single working Hydrovolts turbine can cover some houses only for generating power.
Some related issues & opportunities around :-
Next to the river , stream flowing millions of people live & they require sustainable development. Looking in these aspects the hydropower dams proved to be damaging environment & high implications on people residing next to the water bodies . Thus the local community requires clean energy for sustainable development. Moreover these dams are much more cost effective . Thus for canal hydrovolt turbines proved to be much more environment friendly . Canal offers steady flow of water , & it does not contain wastage and remains . Thus putting up hydrovolts turbine in a canal is far much simpler technique than placing it in natural stream.
