The study of the nano hydro generator for the pipe, using the extra pressure (non-using energy) of the pipeline for agriculture

Abstract

In recent years, power supply equipment which is resistant to the disaster is required due to because the large-scale blackout by natural disaster. On the other hand, there are problems such as an increase in elderly and a shortage of workers in the agricultural field, then the development of electrification and automation of agricultural machinery is underway as a measure to reduce the heavy burden on farmers. but the installation of the power supply equipment is required due to the essential to the continuous operation and charging time. In this study, we report the result of the characteristic of the generating power by the extra energy of the pipeline for agriculture, targeting nano hydraulic power (less than 10 kW) which are many undeveloped areas.
