摘要： Water intake structures for power plants and other industrial facilities may include an inflow channel, a deep well, an outflow channel, and an intake channel These structures may include a fish screen, such as a wedge-wire screen or the like, positioned between the deep well and the intake channel to separate fish, fish larvae and fish eggs from water supplied to the intake channel from the deep well. These structures may further include one or more circulating or sweep flow pumps positioned proximate an outlet of the outflow channel. The sweep flow pumps may be used to maintain a sweep flow through the deep well of the intake structure to help sweep fish, fish larvae and fish eggs away from the fish screen and into the outflow channel.

摘要： The present invention refers to a underwater unit (1) for a hydroelectric power plant and a modular hydroelectric power plant (2) comprising a plurality of such units. The unit (1) according to the invention uses the principle of functioning of the traditional hydroelectric power plants and comprises a penstock (200) which involves a “head” of at least 100 m, and preferably of about 150-300 m, and carries elevated kinetic energy water masses from the surface of a water basin down to one or more turbines (301a-301f) provided in depth under the surface of the basin itself, so as to transfer the kinetic energy from the water to said turbines and to transform then the kinetic energy into electric power. Thanks to the use of variable volume discharge tanks (313a,313b) positioned downstream the turbines, it is possible to easily and effectively return the water masses used for the actuation of turbines themselves to the surrounding environment.

摘要： An electrical power generating system is connected to a sewer for conveying waste water to a sanitary treatment station. Waste water is propelled through the sewer line by pumping equipment which simultaneously pulverizes most large objects carried by the waste water. The waste water drives one or more water-operated turbines. The turbines are operatively connected to electrical power generators for producing electrical power and dispersing the power through an electrical power transmission system.

摘要： A hydroelectric turbine generator and control system is provided that optimizes the maximum possible power output at all times by strictly monitoring power output from the generator unit and modulating the wicket gate angle and the runner blade pitch independently of one another. The hydroelectric turbine generator includes a means for separately controlling wicket gate angle and runner blade pitch. The wicket gate angle control mechanism controls the flow into the system, pre conditions flow for maximum power and maintains reservoir level. The runner blade pitch control mechanism continuously monitors the system power output based on actual power produced, and adjusts system parameters in order to achieve maximum power output.

摘要： A system and method for generating power in a dam are provided. Water passing through a water channel is directed into an exit channel. The water channel converges with the exit channel. Exhaust gases from a heat engine are expelled into the exit channel. The exhaust gases from the heat engine are then used to pull the water, decreasing a pressure of the exit channel. The decreased pressure causes the dam to act as though the head of dammed water were higher than the head mechanically is.

摘要： A turbine which incorporates intake and exhaust pipes that prevent the passing flow from interfering with, or impeding the operation of the turbine. An optional directional cone, with optional helical supports, mounts within the intake pipe and channels flow at an optimal angle to the turbine blades as well as to the outermost, from the axis of rotation, area of the blade's surface, increasing torque and thus efficiency. The turbine's blades are affixed to the inner surface of a cylindrical shell that is free to rotate within a supporting structure. The cylindrical shell also contains the stationary intake and exhaust pipes. The vacant axis of rotation can be closed or open, by means of shorter blades that form a hole with the distal edges of the blades to allow for passing fish and debris to safely exit. Rotational energy is transferred from the outer surface of the cylindrical shell by gears or belts.
