This paper reviews available power supply options for off-grid remote communities in equatorial regions such as Sarawak, Malaysia, with particular focus on hydrokinetic turbines (HKTs) which have potential for the many villages located on rivers where topography does not favor conventional micro-hydro. Cost is a critical factor, as these communities rarely have the purchasing power to acquire expensive equipment manufactured in high-cost countries such as Germany, Canada and the United States. A 0.585 m diameter, low-cost axial flow hydrokinetic turbine was designed, constructed at a cost of USD 300 for materials and 450 for labour, and field tested for this purpose. It produced 92 W from a 1.3 m/s river current velocity, equivalent to 2.2 kWh per day which meets the service level deemed sufficient for a typical rural household in Sarawak, with an overall water to wire efficiency of approximately 34%.

用于偏远社区电气化的小型水力涡轮机

本文回顾了赤道地区(如马来西亚沙捞越)离网偏远社区的可用电源选择,特别关注水力涡轮机 (HKT),它对位于河流上的许多村庄具有潜力,这些村庄的地形不利于传统的微型水力发电。 . 成本是一个关键因素,因为这些社区很少有购买力购买在德国、加拿大和美国等高成本国家制造的昂贵设备。设计了一个直径为 0.585 m 的低成本轴流式流体动力涡轮机,建造材料成本为 300 美元,人工成本为 450 美元,并为此进行了现场测试。它从 1.3 m/s 的河流流速产生 92 W,相当于每天 2.2 kWh,满足砂拉越典型农村家庭的服务水平,
