- **Hydroelectricity** **in** **the** **history** **and** **in** **the**
- **world**
-
- The use of hydraulic turbines began a long time before hydroelectricity:
- the first watermills appeared in the 1st century, between Greece and
- Turkey, before reaching the Roman and ChineseEmpires in the 3rd century.
- Ahydraulic turbine is a rotating machine that produces mechanical energy
- from moving water, in lakes, rivers or with the tide. So it is a machine
- that converts kinetic energy and potential energy of water into
- mechanical work. It is the essential component of hydroelectric power
- stations intended to produce electricity from a flow of water.
- Subsequently, its use was adapted to directly drive machines in
- factories until they were practically used only to drive electric
- generators.
-
- Hydroelectric energy is one of the oldest sources of electricity
- production, and therefore is very technologically developed. It is today
- by farthe leadingrenewable electrical energy, producing nearly
- 83%ofrenewable electricity and 16% of global energy in the world.
- Hydroelectricity is not the “out of date” science that we imagine.
- Today, hydraulic machines are high-tech objects that must meet
- increasingly stringent performance constraints. \[1\]

- **Constitution** **and** **Operating** **Principles**
-
- The water present in a tank located at a higher level (with more energy)
- is circulated to a lower level (with less energy) passing through a set
- of curved blades, nozzles or injectors that transform this energy from
- the water into movement of a rotor,removingenergyand speed from the
- water. These blades can be staticor fixed on therotor, both being
- adjustable so that the flowand power generated can be controlled,
- according to the rotation speed. For its part, the rotoris supported
- axially by thrust and counter thrust bearings and radially by guide
- bearings.
-
- The pipe normally has a final diameter greater than the initial one, in
- order to promote the exit of water with a lower velocity \[2\].

-
- If the sum of potential and kinetic energy of water which are due to the

- the turbine is classified as a reaction turbine. In these types of

-
- The efficiency of a turbine is given by the ratio between the mechanical
- power provided by the turbine and the existing power in the fluid,
- provided by the hydraulic energy, depending on several variables:
-
- > • Flow
- >
- > • Existing losses • Turbine power • Manufacturer • Mounting shaft •
- > Among others
-
- However, hydraulic and mechanical losses are the main causes for the low
- efficiencies in these equipment, and the efficiency of each equipment
- must be maximized according to the conditions in which it will operate
- (flow and losses). The typical efficiencies at which a turbine operates
- vary between 80% and 95%, depending on the flow rate as you can see on
- graphs identical to the one shown in Figure 2 \[3\].

- **Tidal** **Turbines**
-
- From the end of the 19th century, some scientists had the idea of using
- the mechanical energy of ocean currents, but it is only since the
- beginning of the 21st century that this source of energy has begun to be
- studied more seriously: And tidal turbines were born.

-
- IIP Homework n°1
-
- Tidal energy is often compared to wind energy because of its appearance
- and mode of operation: Concretely, a tidal turbine is composed with a
- rotor, this is the rotating part, with a propeller made up of blades,
- with a diameter between 10 and 20 m, all mounted on a shaft/stator, the
- fixed part. \[5\]
-
- The installation of a tidal turbine can be carried out:
-
- > • On a mast or on a tripod which allows the tidal turbine to be placed
- > on the seabed.
- >
- > • If the tidal turbine is placed facing an average sea current of 2.5
- > m/s, i.e. 5 knots, because the tidal turbine operates at full power
- > from 4 knots.
- >
- > • If the tidal turbine has a current interception surface of around
- > 300 meters.
-
- The operation of a tidal turbine can be broken down as follows:
-
- > 1\. The sea current causes the rotation of the blades of the
- > propeller, drives a turbine which generates a mechanical movement. The
- > turbine in both directions of the sea current.
