[O07-P50] Potential Small Hydropower Generation in Kamikawa Basin -Hydro Energy Map Visualizing Power Generation-
Keywords:Small Hydropower Generation
In recent years, greenhouse gas has been generated by fossil fuel consumption. Power generation using renewable energy is become popular in order to reduce greenhouse gas. Renewable energy's merits are that it is undepletable and help eliminate CO2 generation. On the other hand, renewable energy's demerits are its unstable generation. Small hydropower generation has those merits, and moreover, stable generation. Asahikawa has many rivers and aqueducts. Also, Asahikawa has a place where small hydropower is already generated, so we think that Asahikawa can be developed as a small hydropower town if we use the data. However, Asahikawa is a few case and a few suitable locations. In order to overcome this, we found a small hydro energy map. It is a map that the installable area of small hydropower generation and the estimated power generation is shown on the order of one-fifty thousand scale about the particular river. Originally, the small hydro energy map used the river, however, we will use the aqueducts developed for agriculture. We can find suitable places if we can create a small hydro energy map using aqueducts located in Kamikawa basin and expected power generation.
In order to make a small hydro energy map, we need the correct calculation method of power generation. So we compared actual planned power generation of Toei power plant with our estimated theoretical power generation. And these values matches within an error of 3 percent. We calculated the estimated power generation of the three aqueducts at a total of 23 points. By creating this map, we could see the energy distribution latent in the aqueduct. We think that it is possible to more exactness locate and choose a site the best point for power generation.
