it comes with big issue for a ship in service to be equipped with, it as it the ship need
to dry dock and need to make new layout for the engine room to accommodate the
shaft generator. Even though the power generated from the shaft generator is sufficient for the whole ship and there is no need to use the diesel generator. It makes the
load of the main engine increase and the fuel consumption increases proportionally.
The usage of a small generator powered by the flow of water that continuously
flows in the pipeline is a great idea as it is already implemented in commercial use
and proven to be efficient. Therefore, by placing a unit that consists of a turbine or
propeller, shaft, and the motor it can certainly generate electricity.
19.2 Literature Review
A review of existing literature has been carried out to support the research undertaken
in this chapter. This literature review provides general information pertaining to the
power generation and the best parameters to implement hydropower in pipelines.
In addition, this chapter also illustrates the problems and solutions to complete this
research.
19.2.1 An Overview of Power Generation
In modern perspective, power generation started when Michael Faraday and Joseph
Henry invented a primitive electric motor that was based on the theory of induced
current when a wire is moving near a magnet where a current is produced which
lead to the principle of generator nowadays [2]. Then invention occurred when the
idea to make the moving wire a continuous magnet to produce a constant current [3].
Therefore, mechanical energy needed to be converted into electrical energy because
modern power generation systems are equipped with a turbine that rotates the stator
[4]. The mechanical energies of a rotating turbine moved by various resources and
systems can be divided into renewable and non-renewable energy [5].
Non-renewable energy comes from sources that will run out or will not be replenished in our lifetimes or even in many, many lifetimes. Most non-sustainable power
sources are non-renewable energy sources: coal, oil, and gaseous petrol. Carbon is the
principle component in non-renewable energy sources. Consequently, the timespan
that petroleum products framed around 360–300 million years back is known as the
Carboniferous period [6].
Every single petroleum product is shaped along these lines. A huge number of
years prior, even before the dinosaurs, Earth had an alternate scene. It was secured
with wide, shallow oceans and swampy backwoods [7].
