About This Tool
This renewable energy utility provides comparative numerical estimation for micro-hydroelectric potential. Enter hydraulic head height 1, water flow rate factor 2, and reference divisor 3.
Note on implementation: this interactive component evaluates a proportional index ratio (val1 × val2 / val3), a geometric root factor sqrt(val1 × val2), and a head proportion percentage (val1 / (val1 + val2) × 100). It serves as a comparative three-parameter calculation model rather than a continuous fluid mechanics simulator incorporating pipe penstock friction loss and turbine runner efficiency. All arithmetic runs strictly in your local browser.
How to Use
- 1
Enter the gross vertical head height into the Value 1 field.
- 2
Enter the stream water flow rate or volume factor into the Value 2 field.
- 3
Set the reference system loss or turbine divisor parameter into the Value 3 field.
- 4
Review the calculated proportional wattage index, root flow factor, and head-to-flow distribution percentage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this calculator evaluate exact net generator electric output in kW?
No. The calculator runs a three-parameter proportional ratio index model. For certified micro-hydro installations, calculate net electrical power using P = 9.81 × Q × H × efficiency.
How is the primary hydro index computed?
The primary index is computed as (Value 1 × Value 2) / max(0.01, Value 3), providing a normalized comparative metric for site sizing.
Are stream flow data or coordinates sent to a server?
No. All calculations run strictly in client-side JavaScript within your local browser window.
