Regeneration of Electricity Using Lucid Pipe Turbine in Draft Tube of Hydro-Electric Power Plant

Hydroelectric power generation plays a significant role in the production of clean and renewable energy. However, there is a growing need to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of these power plants. This final year mechanical project aims to investigate the potential of regenerating electricity by integrating a Lucid pipe turbine within the draft tube of a hydroelectric power plant, with a particular focus on utilizing used water as the water source. The objectives of this project are to increase power output, improve efficiency, and explore the feasibility of utilizing used water in the lucid pipe turbine system. Experimental setups were designed and implemented, considering the unique requirements for incorporating the turbine within the existing infrastructure of the hydroelectric power plant. Data was collected through rigorous testing and analyzed using established methodologies. Efficiency analysis reveals improved energy conversion compared to conventional methods, showcasing the potential for a more sustainable approach to hydroelectric power generation. Furthermore, cost analysis indicates potential cost savings and economic advantages associated with the utilization of used water in the lucid pipe turbine system. This project contributes to the field of renewable energy and sustainable power generation by providing a practical and innovative solution for enhancing the performance of hydroelectric power plants.
