In addition to photovoltaic and wind systems, nowadays in-pipe water to wire power systems are becoming particularly interesting for the integration of renewable resources at urban and building scale because of the potential to harness clean energy from excess head pressure in urban and domestic water pipelines. Able to operate across a wide range of head and flow conditions, these particular micro hydro power systems can be deployed in municipalities, energy-intensive industries and agricultural irrigation districts providing a consistent amount of clean and continuous energy without the typical intermittency of wind and solar and at the same time helping in pipelines management and maintenance. In- conduit hydropower system harnesses the energy generated by water flowing through large pipelines, providing predictable, base load renewable energy with no environmental impact. A unique in-pipe turbine that captures energy from fast-moving water inside of gravity-fed water pipelines to produce clean, reliable, low-cost electricity Because of unique lift-based, vertical axis spherical turbine, which spins as water passes it, this smart Pipe can operate across a wide range of flow conditions, volumes and velocities without any significant reduction in pressure. This System enables industrial, municipal and agricultural facilities and street lighting to generate clean, reliable, low-cost electricity from their gravity-fed water pipelines and effluent streams.

4. WATER CRISIS

6. ENERGY CRISIS

7. • The Union government has started
laying the groundwork for
privatisation of water distribution in
urban India, with the Ministry of
Urban Development
• To provide potable water to all
households in the State, the Telangana
government would lay a total of
1,26,036 km water pipeline that
includes main trunk line, secondary
lines and distribution networks.
GRAVITY FED WATERPIPELINES

9. IN-CONDUIT HYDRO POWER
GENERATION

11. HOW IT WORKS ??
• WATER FLOWS THROUGH LUCID PIPE'S SPHERICAL LIFT-BASED HYDRO
DYNAMIC TURBINE, GENERATING POWER AS THE TURBINE SPINS.
• THE HYDRODYNAMIC TURBINE HAS BEEN CAREFULLY DESIGNED AND
LAB TESTED TO MAXIMIZE EFFICIENCY

12. DESIGN OF ‘LUCID
PIPE’

13. ELECTRICAL POWER GENERATION

14. ADVANTAGES
• CLEAN ,BASE LOAD ENERGY
WITHOUT INTERMITTENCY OF WIND
AND SOLAR
• VIRTUALLY NO IMPACT ON WATER
FLOW
• NO ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECT
• QUICK INSTALLATION AND NO
SEPARATE SPEACE IS REQUIRED

15. APPLICATIONS
1. REAL TIME SYSTEM MONITORING:
 SENSORS ARE EMPLOYED TO MONITOR
• TURBINE PERFORMANCE
• WATER TEMPERATURE
• PH LEVELS , CONTAMINATION LEVELS
• WATER PURITY
• WATER PRESSURE
• FLOW RATE

16. sensors employed along the pipe
line allows for early detection of
major line leaks ,bursts and failure
by this we can close the electronic
controlled valves at fault area and
can repaired immediately by pipe
line operators

17. SMART OFF GRID SYSTEM
•Water distribution pipelines often transport
water over long distances and through areas that
may not have access to the electrical grid.
•This electrical power generated can be used to
power the tribal houses
