Power performance of a model floating wind turbine subjected to cyclic pitch motion: A wind tunnel study

Fernando Porté Agel, Guiyue Duan, Daniele Gattari

Wind tunnel experiments were performed with a miniature floating wind turbine model to study the effects of cyclic pitch motion on its power performance. The cyclic pitch motion was prescribed by two key parameters: pitch frequency and amplitude. The power ...

Numerical investigation on the volute cutwater for pumps running in turbine mode

Elena Vagnoni, Alessandro Morabito

The hydropower sector has recently raised the interest in pump as turbine (PaT) that can be a valid trade-off between capital cost and performance in micro-scale installations. Nevertheless, the modest efficiency of PaTs often restricts their exploitation. ...

Two-phase flow phenomena in hydraulic turbines and pump-turbines operating in synchronous condenser mode

Elena Vagnoni

Hydraulic turbines and pump-turbines are often required to operate in particular conditions at which they consume active power. To keep the power consumption at a minimum, it is necessary to dewater the runner to reduce the mechanical torque. One of these ...

Energy production with a tubular propeller turbine

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Vlad Hasmatuchi, Cécile Münch-Alligné, Irene Almeida Samora

Micro-hydropower is a way of improving the energetic efficiency of existent water systems. In the particular case of drinking water systems, several studies have showed that pressure reducing valves can be by-passed with turbines in order to recover the di ...

Simulated Annealing in Optimization of Energy Production in a Water Supply Network

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Irene Almeida Samora

In water supply systems, the potential exists for micro-hydropower that uses the pressure excess in the networks to produce electricity. However, because urban drinking water networks are complex systems in which flows and pressure vary constantly, identif ...

Contribution to the Active Generator Principle : the Gate-commutated Polyphased Matrix Converter

Antoine Béguin

This work is part of the innovative "Active Generator" (AG) project. AG is a concept that suggests a new arrangement of the turbine-generator line of a high power utility (a few hundred of MW) in order to de-synchronize the rotation speed of the turbine-ge ...
