Analiza obratovanja male hidroelektrarne Aleš Zore

Hribar, Matevž (author), Petkovšek, Martin (mentor), Hočevar, Marko (comentor)

Diplomska naloga obravnava delovanje male hidroelektrarne Aleš Zore, ki s svojo stoletno zgodovino predstavlja pomemben tehnični in družinski spomenik. V teoretičnem delu so predstavljene vrste vodnih turbin, s poudarkom na Francisovi turbini v jašku. V drugem delu se podrobneje spoznamo z malo hidroelektrarno Aleš Zore, njenimi sistemi in Schneiterjevo turbino N 550. Praktični del zajema sanacijo elektrarne po poplavah avgusta 2023, pregled in obnovo ključnih komponent, meritve karakteristik ter izdelavo karakteristike turbine. Rezultati potrjujejo, da turbina deluje blizu optimalne točke, največje izgube pa povzroča asinhronski generator. Na podlagi analize so podani predlogi za optimizacijo in izboljšanje delovanja elektrarne.

• Title: Operation analysis of the Aleš Zore small hydropower plant

Abstract

This thesis examines the operation of the Aleš Zore small hydroelectric power plant, which, with its century-long history, represents an important technical and family monument. The theoretical part presents the types of water turbines, with an emphasis on the Francis turbine in the shaft. The second part provides a more detailed look at the Aleš Zore small hydroelectric power plant, its systems, and the Schneiter N 550 turbine. The practical part covers the renovation of the power plant after the floods of August 2023, the inspection and restoration of key components, the measurement of characteristics, and the creation of turbine characteristics. The results confirm that the turbine is operating close to its optimum point, with the asynchronous generator causing the greatest losses. Based on the analysis, proposals are made for optimising and improving the operation of the power plant.
