Abstract
HYDRO-TURBINE FOR ELECTRICITY GENERATION: A CASE STUDY
Alphonse Omboua* and Désiré Lilonga - Boyenga
ABSTRACT
In some parts of Africa, access to electricity is still low while the hydraulic potential of certain countries is considerable. In addition to hydroelectric dams use to supply the large urban centers, the hydro energetic can offer other applications such as water turbines which are typically adapted for rural electrification of small villages scattered Like those of African countries. This article deals with the estimation of electric power that could be obtained with a water turbine type, in the case of a river located in the northern part of Congo Brazzaville: Vouma River. For this example, we found an average power of 4 kW capacities useful for a small fishing village for instance.
