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 ...
2024Study of flexible operating conditions in variable-speed hydraulic turbines : advanced models and experimental validation
This PhD thesis is framed within the XFLEX HYDRO project, funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No 857832. The ultimate objective of the XFLEX HYDRO project is to increase hydropower potential in ...
EPFL2024Dynamic stall characterisation and control for vertical-axis wind turbines
According to the International Energy Agency, the global net-zero emissions objective requires the installed wind power capacity to increase 11-fold between 2020 and 2050. The scientific community has recently voiced concerns about the logistic feasibility ...
EPFL2023CFD simulations of hydraulic short-circuits in junctions, application to the Grand’Maison power plant
In the framework of the XFLEX HYDRO H2020 European Project, the pumped-storage power plant of Grand'Maison (France), owned by Electricité De France, focuses on the implementation of the hydraulic short-circuit (HSC) operating mode. This mode increases the ...
