Abstract

Design an electricity generation system based on Pico power plants aimed at energy consumption in lighting of the 'Malecón Ecológico' park in the city of Neiva, to contribute with the offer of spaces for recreation in harmony with the natural environment. A study of the energy consumption of the park is carried out to define the design parameters of the generation system. Then, the necessary parameters for the installation of the power plant are evaluated in order to recognize the technology that best adapts to the conditions of the land and the needs of the users. It ends with the design of the protection and distribution system of the power plant in order to obtain an efficient use of the led lighting system. The representative values of the sampling made for the average speed were 1.70432681 m/ with the technique of digital pinwheel and 1.69715616 m/s with the floating body technique. This shows a difference of 0.007 m/s which is negligible when establishing the average speed of the river by any technique that is used. The average levels of the river are of 2.1245 m/s for the high level and 1.7505 m/s for the low level. It is recommended to dredge the site where it is planned to install the Pico-hydro power plant to keep the water level constant under critical flow conditions in order to avoid efficient operation.
