Abstract :

ABSTRACT This work investigates the possibility of using small turbine to utilize the kinetic energy of fluids in pipeline using electromagnetic mechanism. This is to device a constant means of power supply to pipeline monitoring sensors, from the surrounding system. The design employed the use of a small turbine of 8.6cm directly attached to a brushless DC generator. The proposed system is modeled and simulated using Mat Lab/Simulink software. Simulation results analysis using maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control are investigated and analyzed. The result shows that the proposed system can generate about 5Watts of power, enough to be used for a large sensor system within the pipeline.
