Hydroelectric power generating apparatus

Abstract

A hydroelectric power generating apparatus includes a check dam mounted on a hilltop portion of a hillside to accumulate water of a river reach, a power generating device mounted on a hill bottom portion of the hillside to be driven by a kinetic energy carried by the water for power generation, a diversion pipe extending from the check dam to the power generating device and having at least one diversion duct which extends along the river reach to make a pipeline that converts gravitational potential energy of the water into the kinetic energy, and a surge tank disposed to stand uprightly from the diversion duct for balancing pressure in the diversion duct.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a power generation device, in particular to a hydroelectric power generation device constructed on a hillside. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the development of low-cost and pollution-free power generation systems has gradually attracted attention, such as wind power generation, solar power generation, hydropower generation, etc. The above-mentioned power generation methods use natural resources to generate power. Environmental protection and low pollution. When a general river flows down a hillside, the vertical drop of the hillside will cause the river to generate considerable hydraulic kinetic energy. However, in the existing field of hydropower generation, it is impossible to effectively utilize the energy generated by the river flowing down the hillside. Kinetic energy is used to generate power, especially in hillsides with a height difference of more than 1,000 meters, and the hydraulic power of the river...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

When a general river flows down a hillside, the vertical drop of the hillside will cause the river to generate considerable hydraulic kinetic energy. However, in the existing field of hydropower generation, it is impossible to effectively utilize the energy generated by the river flowing down the hillside. Kinetic energy is used to generate power, especially in hillsides with a height difference of more than 1,000 meters, and the hydraulic power of the river is relatively increased. If the kinetic energy of the above-mentioned rivers is not used for power generation, it is really a big waste of hydropower. Therefore The object of the present invention is to provide a hydroelectric power generation facility with a novel structure that uses the height difference of the hillside and the water of the river to generate electricity
