Enhancing Wind Farm Performance through Axial Induction and Tilt Control: Insights from Wind Tunnel Experiments

Fernando Porté Agel, Guillem Armengol Barcos

Static axial induction control and tilt control are two strategies that have the potential to increase power production in wind farms, mitigating wake effects and increasing the available power for downstream turbines. In this study, wind tunnel experiment ...

Dynamic stall characterisation and control for vertical-axis wind turbines

Sébastien Le Fouest

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 ...

A novel control strategy with an anode variable geometry ejector for a SOFC-GT hybrid system

Jinzhi Lu, Jinwei Chen

A novel control strategy was developed with an anode variable geometry ejector for a solid oxide fuel cell-gas turbine (SOFC-GT) system. The anode inlet temperature was controlled by combining two modes to achieve a greater controllable range: anode variab ...

Theoretical and Experimental Investigation of a 34 Watt Radial-Inflow Steam Turbine with Partial-Admission

Jan Van Herle, Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Patrick Hubert Wagner

A micro steam turbine with a tip diameter of 15mm was designed and experimentally characterized. At the nominal mass flow rate and total-to-total pressure ratio of 2.3 kgh-1 and 2, respectively, the turbine yields a power of 34W and a total-to-static isent ...

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of a Small-Scale Steam Turbine

Diya Achi

This paper focuses on a small-scale radial steam turbine which is part of a fan-turbine unit (FTU) realizing the anode off-gas recirculation of a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC). Due to the small size of the turbine (15mm diameter), it is not possible to dete ...

While the global fuel utilization of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is limited by the stack aging rate, the fuel excess is typically used in a burner, and thus limiting the system electrical efficiency. Further, natural-gas-fueled SOFCs require treated wat ...

Sofc system with anode off-gas recirculation

Daniel Favrat, Jan Van Herle, Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Zacharie Wuillemin, Patrick Hubert Wagner

The present invention concerns an SOFC system comprising an anode off-gas recirculation arrangement in which anode off-gas is pumped by a fan or pump of a coaxial turbine-fan assembly, the system comprising a condenser for condensing water contained in sai ...

Computational parametric analysis of the design of cross-flow turbines under constraints

François Avellan, Sebastián Camilo Leguizamón Sarmiento

The cross-flow turbine is an attractive technology for small-scale hydropower generation thanks to its low capital cost and relatively high efficiency even under partial discharge operating conditions. It has been proposed that this kind of turbine can be ...
