IRAP EUREKA SEi ULH Turbine - Innovative Design and Manufacturing of Ultra Low-Head Hydro Turbine System

FY 2022-23 · 2022-08-01

Summary
As part of the international consortium project, EUREKA SEi ULH Turbine, this project will focus on successfully demonstration and validation of an innovative Ultra Low-head (ULH) Mini-Hydro Turbine-Generator System. Both in Canada and Taiwan have large market potential for generating hydro-electricity at existing ultra low-head sites (head less than 3 meters). These sites cannot be developed economically using existing conventional technology. The laboratory model was developed under ISTP Canada-Brazil program (2013-2015) in a joint R&D collaboration with IP international patents filed and issued. SEi will manufacture all turbine system by using 3D printed high strength composite material where partner in Taiwan will manufacture generator.

Description (French)
Dans le cadre du projet de consortium international, EUREKA SEi ULH Turbine, ce projet se concentrera sur la démonstration et la validation réussies d'un système innovant de mini-turbine-générateur hydroélectrique de très basse chute. Le Canada et Taïwan ont tous deux un grand potentiel de marché pour la production d'hydroélectricité sur des sites existants de très basse chute (moins de 3 mètres). Ces sites ne peuvent pas être développés de manière économique en utilisant la technologie conventionnelle existante. Le modèle de laboratoire a été mis au point dans le cadre du programme ISTP Canada-Brésil (2013-2015), dans le cadre d'une collaboration conjointe en matière de R-D. Des brevets internationaux ont été déposés et délivrés. SEi fabriquera tous les systèmes de turbine en utilisant des matériaux composites à haute résistance imprimés en 3D, tandis que son partenaire taïwanais fabriquera le générateur.
