Simulación de turbina hidroeléctrica mediante implementación de dinamómetro de cuatro cuadrantes en laboratorio de electricidad.

Abstract

According to the evolution of society in various aspects, it has also happened with the use and generation of electrical energy since it was discovered until today it has become a crucial factor to cover the basic needs of the general population. The existence and predominance of renewable energies determines that the simulation of a hydroelectric turbine with various forms of simulation is effective to develop various approaches about renewable energies. The objective of this research was to develop simulation of a hydroelectric turbine by implementing the four-quadrant dynamometer in an electricity laboratory for the analysis of parameters obtained under various operating conditions. The stated objective was achieved through quantitative research methodology. Therefore, the initial parameters of the dynamometer were established, results were compared with simulations in which the inertia and angle of the blade were varied, interpreting the torque-speed curves. Achieving the study of behavior in theoretically based changes, contrasting for each group individually. It was concluded that the equipment is a valuable tool for analysis and training in hydroelectric and renewable energy applications, since, as the parameters varied, we would obtain different results, which can be compared to the real operating conditions of hydroelectric plants where the parameters They are not constant, and the system must adapt to changes between generation and load.
