摘要 |
The present invention relates to an economical way of generating electrical energy by extracting energy from water flowing in pipe 213 or similar conduit, said water originates from any artificial source such as a reservoir, water desalination plant and the like.A power conversion unit including a turbine 220 mountable on said pipe, activated by said flowing water and functionally conected to an ekectric generator 220 and possibly to energy storage device, is also provided, as well as means for accelerating the water that actuates the turbine by progressively lowering the cross section of the pipes 214, 216 upstream of the turbine. Pump 260, operated by part of the electricity 228, increases the pressure in 213. The remaining electricity is transmitted to consumers grid 150.
