Scott Hydroelectric Turbine Generator
low head, cross flow
suitable for battery-based off-grid system
or battery-less grid tie
Unlike most water turbines which have axial or radial flows, in a cross-flow turbine, water passes through the turbine transversely or across the turbine blades. As with a water wheel, the water is admitted at the turbine's edge. After passing the runner, it leaves on the opposite side. Going through the runner twice provides additional efficiency. When the water leaves the runner, it also helps clean the runner of small debris and pollution. The cross-flow turbine is a low-speed machine that is well suited for locations with low head.
The Advantages of Cross Flow turbines
• Mostly used in Mini and Micro Hydropower production
• Ideal for low head conditions as low as 20 feet of vertical drop
• The flat efficiency curve yields better annual performance than other turbine systems
• Excellent behavior with partial load or low stream flow
• Well suited for unattended electricity production.
• Its construction makes it easier to maintain than other turbine types
• There are only three rotating components
• Almost no turbine noise
• Self cleaning. No runner cleaning is necessary
• No dam required-simple diversion up stream or any water source meeting requirements

AC and DC Cable/wire length and voltage drop
must be evaluated carefully when laying out system. Click here for our simple
voltage drop calculator. If the turbine will be located far
from the battery bank and inverter, voltage drop and wire cost can be reduced by
locating the ac-to-dc rectifier at the battery end of the transmission
line. The transmission line in this case will be 3 phase ac and
will require 3 conductors.
