Abstract: The project integrates the start-up of two modules: #1.- A revolutionary mechanical, hydrokinetic microgenerator that converts more than 50% of the slow flow of water into electrical energy, used in Irrigation District #043 in the State of Nayarit, Mexico, feeding three centrifugal pumps that operate with three-phase 10 Hp motors in each pump; module: #2.- It is proposed to carry out hydraulic works including elevated dams, where large quantities of water are momentarily stored, creating conditions for it to operate as an atmospheric battery and maintain the continuous operation of a generator driven by a Francis turbine with a continuous capacity of 0.25 to 0.5 MW at 60 Hz for a range of 8 hours. The sum of the two operating modules are called: Microgenerator Group and Pumping with Atmosphere Battery, being possible to triple the sum of the two modules through an arrangement to sustain a load of 0.25 a 0.5 Megawatts for a 24 hr cycle, exploring the increase in the number of microgenerators and consequently modify if necessary the capacity of the elevated dam, the general conditions of use and exploitation consider that it is not necessary to interconnect to the public state transmission network called Federal Electricity Commission (CFE). Achieving the sustainable operation of a new regional development engine that takes advantage of green energy in a cyclical manner.
