Heze developed a barge turbine to effectively use water energy

Xinhuanet Shandong Channel July 4th (Reporter Wang Yutang) Heze City, Shandong Province has recently developed a simple and low-cost barge turbine power generation system, which can use water energy more easily and effectively than the dam-type hydropower station. .

According to Zhang Qingzhong, a hydropower expert, the current development and utilization of hydropower dam-type hydropower stations have limitations such as limited positioning and non-movability. The system developed by Heze places turbines, generators and other equipment on a floating working platform. Move freely, the water area adaptability is greatly enhanced, and the continuous utilization of river water energy can be realized to the maximum extent.

Fan Jun, a fluid mechanic expert at the School of Water Conservancy and Civil Engineering, Shandong Agricultural University, said that the system developed and assembled by Heze is simple and easy to implement, and the construction cost is low. Today, as the world's energy is getting tighter, such power generation systems are especially suitable for resorts along the riverside and some areas with insufficient power supply.

Some eco-environmental experts pointed out that the barge turbine power generation system converts water energy into mechanical energy, and then converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The entire process does not undergo chemical changes, does not emit harmful substances, and does not pollute the environment, resulting in clean and environmentally friendly energy. Compared with the dam-type hydropower station, the barge turbine generates electricity, and there are no problems such as flooding loss, humanities, ecological damage and resettlement, which are both economical and environmentally friendly.
