A gear pump unit for hydroelectric power generation comprises a generator (138) and a control module operatively connected to a gear pump (131). The gear pump (131) comprises a case (131B) with a fluid inlet (132) and an outlet (135). A first rotor (133) comprises a first plurality of radially spaced teeth (133A, 133B, 133C) that wrap around the first rotor helically in a clockwise direction. A second rotor (134) comprises a second plurality of radially spaced teeth (134A, 134B, 134C) that wrap around the second rotor helically in a counter-clockwise direction. The first plurality of teeth mesh with the second plurality of teeth. The gear pump unit operates in a pump, turbine, or siphon mode via the control module 150 selectively rotating the first and second rotors. Electricity is generated by coupling the rotational energy of the first and second rotors to the generator (138). |
