IziCwangciso zoMbane waManzi amancinci zizisa izisombululo zaMandla aZinzileyo

Umhla we-20 kaMatshi, iYurophu - Izityalo ze-Micro hydropower zenza amaza kwicandelo lamandla, zinika izisombululo ezizinzileyo kuluntu lwamandla kunye namashishini ngokufanayo. Ezi zityalo zivelisa izinto ezintsha zisebenzisa ukuhamba kwendalo kwamanzi ukuvelisa umbane, ukubonelela ngemithombo yamandla ecocekileyo nehlaziyekayo ngelixa kuncitshiswa impembelelo yokusingqongileyo.
Amaziko ombane amancinci, achazwa njengezibonelelo ezinomthamo ongaphantsi kwe-100 kilowatts, afumana amandla kwihlabathi jikelele njengezinye iindlela ezinokusetyenziswa kwimithombo yamandla eqhelekileyo. Ubume babo obuncinci buvumela ukuveliswa kwamandla kwindawo, ukunciphisa imfuno yokuhanjiswa komgama omde kunye neziseko zegridi.
Kwiindaba zamva nje, umzi-mveliso omtsha woveliso lwamanzi ugunyazisiwe kwindawo, nto leyo ephawula inyathelo elibalulekileyo lokuzimela kwamandla kunye nozinzo kulo mmandla. Ibekwe ecaleni kwegama lomlambo/umsinga, lo mzi-mveliso usebenzisa amanzi omlambo ukuvelisa umbane, ukunika amandla uluntu olukufutshane kunye namashishini.
“Ukugunyaziswa kwalo mzi-mveliso woveliso lombane omncinci kubonisa isiganeko esibalulekileyo ekuzibopheleleni kwethu kumandla ahlaziyekayo,” litshilo igama legosa lasekuhlaleni, ligxininisa ukubaluleka kokusetyenziswa kobutyebi bendalo kuphuhliso oluzinzileyo. “Akupheleli nje ekuboneleleni ngombane ococekileyo, koko ikwadala amathuba engqesho asekuhlaleni kwaye ixhasa ukukhula koqoqosho.”
Amaziko ombane amancinci anika izibonelelo ezininzi ngaphaya kokuveliswa kwamandla acocekileyo. Bakhuthaza ulawulo lobutyebi bamanzi ngokwenza ukuba imilambo ihambe kakuhle, iphucule amandla okunkcenkceshela, kunye nokunciphisa imingcipheko yezikhukhula. Ukongezelela, ezi zityalo zinegalelo ekunciphiseni ukukhutshwa kweegesi zegreenhouse, ukulwa nokutshintsha kwemozulu nokulondoloza okusingqongileyo ukwenzela izizukulwana ezizayo.
Ngaphaya koko, iiprojekthi zombane omncinci wombane wamanzi zixhobisa uluntu lwengingqi ngokukhuthaza ukuzimela nokomelela. Ngokusebenzisa amandla emilambo kunye nemisinga ekufutshane, uluntu lunokunciphisa ukuxhomekeka kumafutha ezilwanyana zamandulo, ukuzinzisa iindleko zamandla, kunye nokwandisa ukhuseleko lwamandla.

Xa sijonge phambili, ikamva lezityalo zombane owenziwe ngamanzi amancinci libonakala lithembisa njengoko inkqubela phambili yetekhnoloji iqhubeka nokuphucula ukusebenza kakuhle kunye nokufikeleleka. Ngenkxaso eqhubekayo evela koorhulumente, abatyali-mali, kunye noluntu, amandla ombane amancinci anamandla okudlala indima ebalulekileyo kwinguqu yehlabathi kwiinkqubo zamandla ezicocekileyo nezizinzileyo.
Njengoko ihlabathi lifuna izisombululo zamandla aluhlaza, iiplanti zombane owenziwe ngamanzi amancinane zime njengemizekelo eqaqambileyo yokusungula izinto ezintsha kunye nolawulo lokusingqongileyo. Ngokusebenzisa amandla endalo amanzi, ezi zityalo zikhanyisa indlela eya kwikamva eliqaqambileyo, elicocekileyo, nelizinzileyo lomntu wonke.
