Understanding MCS Certification and Data Acquisition Techniques for 10kW Dual Regulated Kaplan Turbines

This document provides an in-depth exploration of MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) certification and necessary data acquisition techniques for 10kW dual regulated Kaplan turbines. It outlines the purpose of the certification, key data collection methods (such as electrical power output, river levels, and water velocity), and results from the data obtained. Additionally, it discusses the current situation of MCS certification, its significance, the steps to obtain certification, and the practicalities of data acquisition processes. Aimed at professionals and enthusiasts in the renewable energy sector, this guide highlights best practices and provides insights into ensuring reliable turbine performance.

  6. MCS Certification Current Situation? Why Bother? How Does One Obtain Certification?

  7. Obtaining Data What data did we need? • Electrical power output • Upstream River Level • Turbine Tank Level • Downstream River Level • Water Velocity…(to be continued!) • And actuator positions……Identifies steady state conditions

  8. River Levels Power Readings

  9. Obtaining Flow Data • Insertion Flow Meter Required • Pitot-Static Tube £900! +/- 0.25ms-1 (Voelkner, 2014) (Bright Hub Engineering, 2010) (Setra Solutions, 2014) =0.235 psi = 2.9e-3 psi Other options considered, but there just isn’t time!

  10. Obtaining Flow Data What We Actually Used!

  11. Obtaining Run-Away Data
