hidroelectricas decentralizadas.<br />

Las turbinas electricas son iguales a cualquier<br />

maquinaria rotatoria en cuanto a que funcionan me<br />

jor en <strong>com</strong>pleta ausencia de sedimento, tierra, arena,<br />

piedras o particulas de metal. Hay que evitar<br />

disefiar la base de1 flujo de1 agua en lugares que per-<br />

mitan el paso de tales materiales. Cuando se trabaje<br />

con aguas no cortenidas, se pueden emplear 10s<br />

siguientes procedimientos especificos para dar m&s<br />

larga duration de operation a la planta hidraulica<br />

La selection de1 lugar y el metodo de instalacion<br />

Site Selection and<br />

Turbine Setting<br />

Kenneth M. Grover<br />

Without getting into the technical details<br />

presented elsewhere, Kenneth M. Grover presents<br />

the most important elements invcllved in site<br />

selection and turbine installation. Of particular<br />

value is his perspective on the future:<br />

maintenance and even system expansion are<br />

realities for which preparations are required<br />

today.<br />

The author acknowledges the impossibility of<br />

condensing into these few short pages all of the<br />

information that would be of interest to the<br />

engineer engaged in site selection and installa-<br />

tion of small decentralized hydroelectric (SDH)<br />

plants.<br />

Hydraulic turbines are the same as any<br />

rotating machinery in that they run better in the<br />

<strong>com</strong>plete absence of silt, soil, sand, stone and<br />

metal particles. We should avoid designing a<br />

water flow path that is able to permit passage of<br />

such materials. When working with non-dam<br />

waters, the following specific procedures may be<br />

employed to give a longer operating life to the<br />

SDH plant.<br />

The site selection and the method of installa-<br />

tion are both heavily biased by the equipment<br />

selected and the available water supply sources.<br />

We will list the information that must be made<br />

available for the task.<br />

Data Collection<br />

1. Power demand, kW, Hertz, Phase, Voltage.<br />

2. Transmission distance and maps of terrain.<br />

3. Annual & monthly rainfall.<br />

4. Drainage basin area.<br />

5. Ratio of rainfall to run-off.<br />

6. Flow-duration curves.<br />

7. Gauging station data.<br />

8. Topographical maps of the area of interest.<br />

9. Location of usage point on the map<br />

10. Location of any known falls or Steep terrain<br />

in area.
