Resumen
In Latin America, the lack of electricity has been a serious problem for over several years. To overcome this lack of supply in electricity supply, hydraulic energy is now being used in a greater proportion to fulfill the electricity needs in the rural areas. Investigations have been conducted to assess the environmental conditions of these rural areas to optimize the functionality of turbines used for hydraulic energy generation. However, there are very few focused on turbines of less than 0.5 kW generation. The proposed study aims to analyze the positioning of the blades of the cross-flow turbines and designing an electric generation system for rural dwellings. A simulation of each evaluated design was performed, and the power generated from these turbines was calculated. The results show that the power outputs initially were high and stabilized at a value of approximately 180 W, hence satisfying the minimum demands of a rural house.
