Embodiment Construction

[0022] Traditional hydroelectric dams10( figure 1 ) to generate electricity by utilizing the water level difference of the reservoir R. The hydroelectric dam 10 and its associated power plant 15 contain one to several inlets for each turbine. Each bay contains the following elements in varying numbers and configurations: trash rack 11, fish screen (not shown), sluice inlet 12, channel 14, which together control and transmit the flow of water through a turbine 13 to generate torque, This torque is transmitted to the generator 16 whose electricity is transferred to the power system 18 through the power line 17 and from the power system 18 to the consumer power source through the power line 20 . Many dams use multiple inlets 12 and nozzle outlets 21 for each turbine 13 that deliver water from that nozzle outlet 21 that is free of debris but its turbulent and turbulent conditions As a result, it is not suitable as a driving energy source for turbines. Therefore, a major challen...

Abstract

Normally hydroelectric dam powerhouses use river flow once before discharging it as turbulent tailwater, ineffective to spin turbines. The present invention uses tapered channels to confine and constrict turbulent tailwater into laminar flow that drives turbines both submersible and floatable utilizing the same water three times concurrently to generate new electricity. Channels originate adjacentto draft tube outlets, constrict in the downstream direction to create narrow necks where turbine / generators benefit from debris free, increased velocity and laminar flows to generate electricity. Hydroelectricity uses zero fuel, creates zero waste and has zero carbon dioxide emissions. Structures are uncomplicated, construction is within project boundaries minimizing environmental impacts and speeding projects coming online. New facilities are protected by existing dam security. Hydroelectricity replaces less dependable renewable energy systems.

Description

Background technique [0001] The applicant / inventor has been a designer for 22 years and has been an engineering economics officer (hereinafter VEO) for the US Army Engineers Corporation, Walla District, for 9 years. During that period, eight new hydroelectric dams were built on the Columbia, Snake, Boise, and Clearwater rivers. The applicant / inventor participated in several of these constructions and, as a VEO, directed many studies until his retirement in 1982 and continued his career as an international consultant in Engineering Economics (hereafter VE). These include timely VE studies on dams, such as five temporary projects in Nepal and several projects in the United States. [0002] The McNary Dam on the Columbia River was the applicant / inventor's first project with the firm. The 1,340-foot-long power station has 14 generators. The total rated capacity of the power station is 1,120,000 kW. At McNary Dam, one hydro turbine generates as much electricity as 211 660KW win...
