Fig. 1.
Block diagram of a combined energy device consisting of a solar
photovoltaic plant and a
microhydroelectric power plant. The combined energy complex consists of the following: 1-solar power
plant, 2-microhydroelectric power plant, 3-rectifier, 4 and 5-controlled switches, 6-first control device,
7-boost
converter, 8-second
control device, 9 –
current measuring device, 10 and 11
- controlled
switches, 12 and 13 - a device for measuring current, 14 - battery, 15 - ballast load, 16 - inverter and 17
- load.
The second control unit 8 controls the operation of the energy accumulator 14, the ballast
load 15, designed to consume excess power, and the load 17, which receives energy through
the inverter 16 through current measuring devices 9, 12 and 13, as well as using controlled
switches 10 and 11, excess power is transferred
to the ballast load,
controls battery
consumption and charging.
2 Materials and methods
To determine the geometrical and hydraulic parameters of the Archimedes screw, certain
characteristics will be fixed to facilitate the study. In Figure 2,
the screw parameters are
shown.The geometric parameters of an Archimedean screw are [12]:
•
the outer radius Ra
• the inner radius Ri
• the pitch of the screw S
• the total length L
• the threaded length Lb
• the number of blades N
• the inclination of the screw β
The hydraulic parameters are:
• the inflow Q
• the geodesic head H.
