| Popis: | Bangladesh is progressing through a phase of development where automation is the key to its Economy. At this stage electricity is very important for the advancement of this country. Now-a-days it becomes very challenging to meet the required demand of the country. This is because of increasing price of fuel in the world market and also the unavailability of fuel. Under these circumstances renewable energy can be a great prospect. There are a good number of rivers consisting sufficient flow of water in Bangladesh. These rivers flowing water can be a great source of kinetic energy and utilizing this kinetic energy of flowing water Hydro Electricity can be produced. In this paper the real life practical data of Gumoti & Surma rivers were analyzed. The main purpose is to utilize the maximum velocity of flowing water to rotate the turbine shaft. A system is introduced that does not need the Dam or Reservoir to produce Electrical Power and is observed that, 18.834MW-hr & 14.804MW-hr worth of energy can be produced annually from Gumoti & Surma rivers respectively. This amount of power can be very useful for these rivers nearby inhabitants as they are still out of national grid range. This paper has two parts. The first part illustrates the power crisis scenario of Bangladesh and why it is neceary to seek alternate resources and the second part describes about one viable solution to solve this crisis to some extent. |
