Small-scale organic Rankine cycle turbo-generator for waste heat recovery on truck engine

Truck engine waste heat recovery (WHR) systems have been investigated for many years. Among them, organic Rankine cycle (ORC) systems show the highest potential, but still lack efficient small-scale expansion devices, in practice. Proposed expanders are of ...

Design of Oil-Free Turbocompressors for a Two-Stage Industrial Heat Pump under Variable Operating Conditions

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Adeel Javed

A pair of mechanically driven small-scale turbocompressors running on gas lubricated bearings have been designed for a two-stage heat pump application functioning under variable operating conditions. Novelty in the present two-stage heat pump system lies i ...

Free boundary equilibrium in 3D tokamaks with toroidal rotation

Olivier Sauter, Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Minh Tâm Tran, David Pfefferlé, Jonathan Marc Philippe Faustin, Daniele Brunetti, Madhusudan Raghunathan

The three-dimensional VMEC equilibrium solver has been adapted to numerically investigate the approximate toroidal rotation model we have derived. We concentrate our applications on the simulation of JET snakes and MAST long-lived modes under free boundary ...

Stability study of a mixed islanded power network

François Avellan, Jean-Jacques Simond, Basile Kawkabani, Alexander Schwery

This paper presents the modeling, simulation and analysis of the dynamic behavior of a mixed power network of 2.78 GW including hydro, thermal and wind power plants. The modeling of each power plant is described. The set of parameters of the turbine speed ...

Turbine Speed Governor Parameters Validation in Islanded Production

François Avellan, Jean-Jacques Simond, Christophe Nicolet, Philippe Allenbach, Basile Kawkabani, Bob Greiveldinger

The transient behavior of hydroelectric power plants is of high interest for ensuring stability of islanded electrical power networks. Therefore, it is suitable to determine and validate the set of parameters of a turbine speed governor using a realistic s ...

Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation Software for regulator tests and optimization.

Jean-Jacques Simond, Philippe Allenbach, Antoine Béguin, Stefan Keller

This paper presents a real-time extension, called SIMSEN-RT, of the simulation software SIMSEN. SIMSEN-RT allows carrying out hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulations of power systems using hardware regulators. It can therefore be used to fine-tune regulator ...

Hydroacoustic modelling and numerical simulation of unsteady operation of hydroelectric systems

Christophe Nicolet

Hydropower represented in 1999 19% of the world electricity production and the absolute production is expected to grow considerably during the next 30 years. Francis turbines play a major role in the hydroelectric production due to their extended range of ...

On the Hydroelectric Stability of an Islanded Power Network.

François Avellan, Jean-Jacques Simond, Philippe Allenbach

slanded power networks comprising a small number of large power plants are subject to perturbations leading to important transients, and, hence need high performance governors. The design of these governors requires a detailed model of the system. This is ...
