Design and analysis of hydroelectric generation using waterwheel (original) (raw)

2018 9th International Renewable Energy Congress (IREC), 2018

Abstract

This research gives an idea about the effective use of water wheels in a river flow, which gives power generation with low cost. It also describes the working principle, design and calculations, applications and challenges along with future scope of using waterwheel. Nowadays, generated hydropower from waterwheel is one of the cheapest ways to produce electricity. Hydropower can be implemented in the developing nation like Iraq to supply domestic electricity to cover the increased demand for electricity due to the increase in population. The modern water wheels are made from steel which have many functions as a new technology, promising no harmful effects on the environment. In this paper, those modern water wheels will be used to produce the electricity through attaching the waterwheel to a generator with help of a belt and pulley arrangement, so the electrical energy is resulted from mechanical energy. The full bridge rectifier is used to transmit electricity in its most efficient...
