On the prediction of the induced damage by the start-up sequence of Francis turbines: On operational resilience framework

Mario Paolone, Christophe Nicolet, Elena Vagnoni, Martin Seydoux

The number of transient operations in hydraulic machinery connected to power grid, notably start-ups and shut-downs, has observed a substantial increase in recent decades, primarily driven by the global shift toward intermittent renewable energy sources. S ...

The influence of splitter blades and meridional profiles on the performance of small-scale turbopumps for ORC applications; analysis, neural network modeling and optimization

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Sajjad Zakeralhoseini

This work presents the influence of splitters on the performance of small-scale turbopumps for organic Rankine cycle applications numerically. Different design parameters, such as impeller diameter at the outlet, number of blades, blade angle at the traili ...

Swirl number based transposition of flow-induced mechanical stresses from reduced scale to full-size Francis turbine runners

François Avellan, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Christian Landry, Keita Yamamoto, Joao Gomes Pereira Junior

At part load conditions, Francis turbines are subject to the emergence of a hydrodynamic instability in their draft tube, referred to as precessing vortex rope. It induces pressure pulsations in the water passages at the precession frequency of the vortex, ...

Physical Mechanism of Interblade Vortex Development at Deep Part Load Operation of a Francis Turbine

François Avellan, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Keita Yamamoto

For seamless integration of growing electricity production from intermittent renewable energy sources, Francis turbines are under increasing demand to extend their operating range. This requires Francis turbines to operate under off-design conditions, wher ...

Actuation Displacement Analysis of a Self-Switching Shape Memory Alloy Buckled Beam

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Morgan Almanza, Sean Thomas

This paper aims to simulate using Finite Element Modelling (FEM), a self-activating bistable buckled beam actuator using SMAs. In this work, various parameters such as the dimensions of the beam, shape geometry are studied to determine their effects on the ...

Mechanical impact of dynamic phenomena in Francis turbines at off design conditions

François Avellan, Arthur Tristan Favrel

At partial load and overload conditions, Francis turbines are subjected to hydraulic instabilities that can potentially result in high dynamic solicitations of the turbine components and significantly reduce their lifetime. This study presents both experim ...

Fabrication of flexible blade models from a silicone-based polymer to test the effect of surface corrugations on drag and blade motion

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis

Macrocystis blades develop longitudinal corrugations in regions with strong current and wave action. This study examined the effect of corrugations on blade motion and blade drag by constructing flexible blades with different corrugation amplitude and a co ...

Experimental evaluation of the velocity profiles and performance of a counter rotating micro-turbine by 2D laser Doppler velocimetry

François Avellan, Elena Vagnoni, Cécile Münch-Alligné, Loïc Andolfatto

The most exploited renewable energy at a global scale is hydropower, which nowadays accounts for the 18 % of the world’s electricity supply. Its production is expected to increase approximately 3.1% each year in the next 25 years maintaining its share in t ...
