Abstract

In recent years in Japan, there has been a change required in the generation of electricity with a focus on renewable energy. The aim of this study is to analyze CFD around the micro-hydro turbine. The final aim is to generate electricity by unutilized hydraulic energy in water supply facilities. As a result of the analysis, the flow velocity at the time of passing through the turbine increased, and the validity of the analysis was confirmed by the continuous equation. In addition, it was speculated that the torque acting from the fluid is affecting the change of the rotational angular velocity of the turbine.
