• Utbyggnaden av kraftverk i älvar och floder får stora konsekvenser för den biologiska mångfalden när stora områden sätts under vatten.

• Lekområden för fisk ödeläggs och vattenorganismer såväl som ett flertal andra växter, fåglar och djur påverkas negativt.

Greenpeace (hemsida*):

Fler stora vattenkraftsutbyggnader är inte försvarbara ur biologisk och ekologisk synpunkt:

* http://www.greenpeace.org/sweden/kampanjer/klimat/losningar/klimatvanlig-energi/vatten

Småskalig vattenkraft å andra sidan fångar flodernas energi utan att ta bort för mycket vatten från deras naturliga flöde. Därför är den småskaliga vattenkraften en miljövänlig energikälla med stor tillväxtpotential.

Vattenkraft är en ren energikälla som ger stora mängder energi. Attanlägga nya vattenkraftverk orsakar dock stora skador i naturen. Därförbyggs inga nya större kraftverk i vårt land.

3 Gorges Dam

The Three Gorges Project, including a 2,309-meter-long, 185-meter-high dam with 26 power generators, is being built on the middle reaches of the Yangtze, China's longest river.

The project started 1993 and is assumed to be finished 2011, at what time the power output will be 22 500 MW.

Water from upstream is flowing into the reservoir at a rate of 13,200 cubic meters per second.

FIG. 9.8. Methods of regulating the speed of a Pelton turbine: (a) with a spear (or needle) valve; (b) with a deflector plate.

Spear used for slow control

Deflector plate causes no “hammer”

Hydraulic losses reduced at low load, but

bearings and windagelosses remain at constant speed


Francis Turbines

James Bicheno FrancisMay 18, 1815 – September 18, 1892


Francis Turbines

Reaction turbines

Pressure drop takes place in the turbine itselfWater flow completely fills all part of the turbinePivotable guide vanes are used for control (Francis)A draft tube is normally added on to the exit; it is considered an integral part of the turbine


Francis Turbines

FIG. 9.15. Location of draft tube in relation to vertical shaft Francis turbine.

Draft tube

Shaped as a diffusor to minimize losses

Turbine may be placed above tailwater surface

Cavitation may be an issue


Francis Turbines

Volute or scroll: Decreasing diameter => constant velocity

Flow is through the scroll into guide vanes and onto the runner

FIG. 9.13. Comparison of velocity triangles for a Francis turbine for full load and at part load operation.

Volume flow rate reduced by guide vanes

Rotor incidence high.

Swirl at exit increases losses and risk for cavitation(why?)
