Using a pump as a turbine has numerous benefits for rural pico-hydro projects in the developing world. Since centrifugal water pumps can usually be found locally, one avoids paying expensive import taxes, and since the pump is a familiar technology to local pump and motor technicians, it can be serviced if problems arise.

Apr 04, 2019 The test results found that centrifugal pumps can be used as a good alternative as a water turbine. The larger pump size results in a lower head, power and efficiency. The results of testing at constant rotation and head, PAT 1 inch superior to PAT 1.5 inches, and PAT 2 inches. The maximum power and efficiency of 1 inch PAT is 235 W and 38% ...

May 01, 2013 The research on using pump as turbine was started around 1930 . During these years, the most attempts have been done on centrifugal pumps that are suitable for medium/high heads. Because many of Pico hydro resources have very low head, researches on hydraulic behavior of axial reverse pumps can expand use of PHPs.

Nov 03, 2018 The kinetic energy present in water flow from the overhead tank is converted into electrical energy. The generated electrical energy is stored in batteries by converting the AC power into DC power by using power electronic converter. It is one of the alternative sources of energy conservation.
