Green Energy - Hydro Power - Hydroelectric Inflow Dam System
Video : http://www.lamtengchoy.com/main/?item-videolist/show/41/
An innovative hydroelectric power system designed in modular and portable enclosed column units. This system is
thus scalable and is applicable in still water or tidal basins. An advantage of this system is the minimal ecological
impact it may cause to the environment.
Background
Water or hydropower, being the largest source of
clean and green electricity, accounts for about
20% of all electricity produced globally; an
advantage of hydroelectric power generation is
that the technology is proven. A disadvantage of
conventional hydropower plants is that they are
large and usually involve huge capital
investments, years to design and build; they also
affect the local ecology once the catchment areas
are flooded.
Small or micro hydroelectric power system
which generates between 1kW-1MW is more cost
effective to produce renewable energy in the
remote areas. Most design requires fixed water
inlet, customized turbine, high head and velocity
water flow to generate electricity.
M/S IP Management Pte Ltd has invented a
revolution Hydroelectric Inflow Dam System, an
innovative
design
comprising
modular
hydroelectric energy production units, each being
characterized by an enclosed column partially
immersed in water. The upper portion of the
inflow dam above the water level houses the
generator, converter, transformer and control
system. One or several turbines at the bottom
end of the column receive water jets from nozzles
to rotate the turbine(s) to produce electricity.
Evacuation pipe discharges water downstream of
the turbine(s) to a lower ground by gravity.
This system is modular, portable and scalable
and can be deployed individually or connected in
a network according to the designed power
capacity.
Comparative advantages
Inflow Dam System:
of
Hydroelectric
 Minimal ecological footprint. System can
be installed without the need to construct
a dam.
 Generic construction, there is only one
model that is adaptable to different
installations.
 Not dependent on waves and current, it
works well in still water or tidal basins.
 Efficiency in manufacturing, installation,
deployment and maintenance
International Patent Application No. PCT/SG2009/000247 &
Singapore Patent No. 154974
 Easy maintenance without interruption of
power supply.
 Modular and portable by land, sea and air
transport.
 Mass production to achieve economy of
scale.
 High power density per water surface area
 No technological incertitude.
Main applications:
Hydroelectric Inflow Dam System works well in
two or more cascading reservoirs. Install at
location where water containment can be still
water, rivers, basins, channels, tidal reservoirs,
and so on. Potential power output per column
unit ranges from 30kW to 200kW for water
heads of 4m or more.
Development program:
One model complete with standardised
equipment to achieve optimized efficiency and
lowest manufacturing cost may become an
economically viable alternative to power
generation by fossil fuel. System design,
development, installation and testing of a single
column full-size working prototype may take
about 8-10 months, with an estimated cost of
about US$1.2 million.
Collaboration opportunity:
We are seeking investors, industrial partners,
end users, R & D organisations to fund the
development program and commercialisation.
Opportunities
for
development
and
commercialisation are open for discussions.
Expected performance:
Optimal designs capacity up to 200kW per
column unit and over 2MW in a network.
