Hydroelectric power ? LH1000 water turbine?

Question

I researching the economics of hydropower, but still dont understand how many total amps this turbine will produce in 24h.
Also does it make sence to create a water source to produce power or is it only privileged to rivers and dams?

Answer 1

The LH 1000 has a maximum output of 1500 watts. At 24 volts this would be a bit over 60 amps. In 24 hours it would produce 36 kilowatt hours.

One would need 10 feet of actual head at the turbine intake.

Whether it makes sense to develop a water source would be determined by the total cost of the entire installation, maintenance costs, and the payback in terms of the value of the energy produced.
