This paper deals with the reactivation of three test benches of high, medium and low power electric generators for hydraulic energy conversion in the University of Carabobo Hydraulic Laboratory. The method involves three stages: i) Description of three high, medium and low power electric generators for hydraulic energy conversion, ii) Rehabilitation of three high, medium and low power electric generators for hydraulic energy conversion and iii) Evaluation of performance indexes of high, medium and low power electric generators for hydraulic conversion. The results indicate that for the low power electric generator, the position angle of the distributor blades is an experimental factor that has a significant effect on the response variables studied. With respect to the medium and high power electric generators, the most influential factor on operation and power generation is the flow supplied.
