Turbine + Generator
From Design Strategy it was suggested that:
Calculation Size 3:
A. 4 trips/hr * 100kwh/day * 6hr = 2400kwh/day
B. 4 trips/hr * 200persons/day * 6hr = 4800persons on the 50km round trip per day.
Defining Turbine + Generator Size
2400kWh/day of energy @
4 trips per hour.
6 hours per day.
Turbine + Generator size: 2400kWh/(4 * 6)h = 100kWh/h
10kW-150kW
Why heat storage is part of the SHE.
Thermal Energy Loss in Turbine Systems
This type would be good for low temperature solar applications,
(Organic Rankine Cycle Turbine)
because they can use water or alcohol.
Usage/Application: Industrial
Steam:
Pressure Range: 32 kg/cm2 = 31.381bar
Vapor Temperature: 234ºC
Power Capacity: 2 MW
Alcohol:
Pressure Range: 33.2bar
Vapor Temperature: 202ºC
Power Capacity: 1.6 MW/s
Steam Turbine General Knowledge
About Steam Type Turbines
Selecting the right Turbine + Generator Combination could be important as far is costs are concerned.
Building Block Size
In the end, Africa will need it's own turbine and generator production.
Because at this point in time everything in Africa is startup, It will be necessary to start with sizes that are adjusted to meet on the ground local needs and then expand up to the maximum as more energy is required.
To do that, select the lowest priced turbine that will produce enough energy.
Example: 150KW for a 100KW block, so that nothing will over heat, even when a little bit more energy is required.
Generator
There is no documentation that defines the difference between an electric motor and an electric generator, which means that an electric motor, preferably with permanent magnet rotor, can be used to generate the electricity.
The idea hereby is to select sizes and combinations that cost less, so that later, prices will fit the pockets of Africans from day one.
Suppliers that include the electric current generator in the object that is for sale and thereby ensure that the statements really do match the power outputs as expected may have an advantage.
Of course high efficiency electric current generators are preferred, if their price can be related to a gain for the buyer.
Example: Permanent magnet electric current generators that are positioned so that heat will not effect them, whereby it is stated again here that there is no documentation about differences between electric motors and electric current generators.
