Abstract: A postprocessing method has been developed to enable the extraction of quantifiable data from images captured from within the rotating frame of reference of a Pelton turbine. The turbine tested was the reference Pelton ...

Abstract: Aeroelastic design and fatigue analysis of large utilityscale wind turbine blades have been performed to investigate the applicability of different types of materials in a fatigue environment. The blade designs used in the ...

Abstract: The penetration of intermittent wind and solar power to the grid network above manageable limits disrupts electrical power grids. Consequently, hydraulic turbines synchronized to the grid experience total load rejection ...

Abstract: Experimental and numerical studies on a high head model Francis turbine were carried out over the entire range of turbine operation. A complete Hill diagram was constructed and pressuretime measurements were performed at ...

Abstract: Water passes freely through a hydraulic turbine in the absence of power requirements or during maintenance of the transmission lines, spillways, or dam. Moreover, the turbine operates under noload conditions prior to ...
