Abstract

A unique in-pipe hydropower prototype with a water separation feature, designated as P40 is developed in this research. Fabricated mainly using steel-based materials, it has two power generation (PG) channels with nozzles and turbines. Water flows into the PG channels and is controlled by inlet and outlet valves. From the experiment, it showed that all valves in P40 functioned well as it prevented water from flowing into the PG channels. P40 works effectively as a device that allows most water to flow uninterrupted. With a valve that works well, this system allows maintenance to be done without having to disrupt the flow of water to the consumer. It is also expected to generate more power compared to the previous studies.
