After the turbine and housing were manufactured, electronics were selected to ensure energy conversion. Shortly after, we decided to make a turbine that can be regulated through the PLC device and where all the actions will be automated. In addition, a great desire was to present different modes of operation on touche screen, primarily because this Archimedes screw testing station is intended for presentation to students as well as to the general public. Due to great demand for knowledge and experience, a team for regulation and automation has been formed. The team has done a great job, and now we are testing turbine at 4000 working points varying the angle of the screw, the volume flow rate and turbine speed. The measurements are performed without interruption.
