A Couple of Savonius Wind Mill and Centrifugal Reaction Pump as a Wind Energy Water Pump System

Abstract:

Wind energy is one of renewable energy which became the center of attention and grew rapidly. Especially for remote area, wind energy is one of alternative dependable energy sources which can be used for water lifting. Savonius wind mill can be a solution for decentralized power generation, with low cost and reduced environmental impacts. This study observed a couple of Savonius wind mill and a centrifugal reaction pump which used as a wind energy water pump system (WEWPS). The Savonius wind mill has 0.8 m diameter, 1.0 m height, 2 stages, 2 buckets in every stage and 0.1 m width of the buckets spacing. The centrifugal reaction pump with a T-junction has 0.9 m diameter, 18.5 mm (0.5 inch) nominal inner diameter for both vertical and horizontal pipes. Both arms of T-junction have similar dimension and functioned as impeller. The pump, which is suitable for low shaft speed, is modified by replacing the couple of fixed orifices and sliding orifice with double U pipe configuration to restrict the air entering the pipe channel, either while stopped or rotated. The transmission used to connect the shafts of both devices is the couple of belt and pulleys with transmission ratio 7:4. WEWPS started pumping the water at 4.5 m/s wind speed and total head 1.5 m. The wind speed produced low shaft speed 120 rpm, shaft power 13 Watt and through the transmission driving the pump into cut-on mode.
