The project aims to develop and implement an intelligent water aeration system for hydraulic turbines (i-Turb) with double purpose: to increase the dissolved oxygen content of the discharged water from hydropower plants and to improve hydraulic turbine operation by reducing the vibrations induced by pressure fluctuations when operating at partial load.
The i-Turb intelligent system will reach a technology readiness level equal to TRL6, starting from the level of TRL5, namely the innovative non-invasive device for dispersed water aeration, ECOTURB, developed in a previous CDI project (PN2 88/2014) by the implementation team of this project, and patented by international patent no 036765 / 17.12.2020 B1. By equipping the ECOTURB device with sensors for monitoring the water parameters and the turbine operation, and integrating them into an automated measurement, control and command module, the intelligent i-Turb system will be obtained, a complete, efficient solution in terms of oxygen transfer into water, energy consumption necessary for aeration (by aeration device automation) and turbine efficiency (by injecting air at certain operating regimes).
Thus, the present project aims to continue the research of the implementation team, by developing an intelligent, automated system for monitoring and controlling the quality of discharged water, as well as the efficiency of hydro units (i-Turb), with potential for transfer and commercial use on the national and worldwide markets, in correlation to the international water quality requirements imposed by international regulations (EU Water Directive 60/2000 / EC). The implementation and testing of the intelligent i-Turb aeration system in relevant conditions of real scale operation will demonstrate its efficiency, finally obtaining a technology demonstrated in the industrial environment (TRL6).
