My name's Tom Pendrey, and I am studying mechanical engineering at Edinburgh university. Currently doing a 4th year group design project of designing a hydro scheme. I was wondering if you could help me out with some information please, or recommend me some other sources of information, or give me some advice. I am at the stage of costing a small hydro scheme in Glen Kinglass just west of Loch Lommond in Scotland. The head = 70m, and we expect a design flow rate of around 1.4m^3/s, possibly 2 though (sorry - our civil engineering data was questionable). The 2 choices I have thought about for a drive transmission are: 1) using a direct flexible coupling from turbine to generator with a custom built generator for the speed of our turbine; or 2) a simple belt system linking the turbine to a standard generator. I realise that maintenance costs would be lower with the direct coupling, however initial cost would be higher. I'm not sure how much piping we will have. The turbine we will probably want to use is a francis, thouch possibly a cross-flow such as Turgo. I would greatly appreciate any information you can give me! Thank you for your time.
