Abstract
Electricity generation is an important topic today in the context of the transition to clean and sustainable energy. Electric microgeneration has become an increasingly popular alternative for power generation in rural areas. However, the efficiency of these systems can be affected by various variables, making it necessary to develop innovative solutions to maximize their performance. The research aims to analyze the variation in electric microgeneration through the implementation of an automated prototype that allows for the control of input variables to determine the electric generation of microturbines, emulated in a hydraulic pipe system. The results obtained seek to contribute to the development of efficient solutions for energy generation that have a positive impact on the utilization of hydraulic energy. It compares flows in different pipe diameters to assess their efficiency. The automated prototype in this research can be used as a foundation for the design of residential-scale electric microgeneration systems.
