Experimental and Numerical Investigations on the Origins of Rotating Stall in a Propeller Turbine Runner Operating in No-Load Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Hydraulic turbines are more frequently used for power regulation and thus spend more time providing spinning reserve for electrical grids. Spinning reserve requires the turbine to operate at its synchronous rotation speed, ...
A Hydrodynamic Study of a Propeller Turbine During a Transient Runaway Event Initiated at the Best Efficiency Point
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a hydrodynamic study of a propeller turbine runaway based on flow simulations and measurements results. Runaways are considered one of the most structurally damaging conditions a hydraulic turbine may ...
Analysis of the Runner Behavior During the Start-Up Sequence in a Bulb Turbine Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental analysis of the start-up sequence of a bulb turbine was performed in a closed-loop circuit, and analyses of global performances were conducted under three start-up conditions. In order to conduct a deeper ...
Experimental Study of a Bulb Turbine Model During Start-Up and at Speed-No-Load Conditions, Based on the Measurement of Unsteady Pressure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Experimental analysis of a bulb turbine during the start-up sequence and in speed-no-load (SNL) operating conditions was performed in a closed-loop circuit. This study focuses on pressure fluctuations across the machine. ...
Numerical Investigation of Flow in a Runner of Low-Head Bulb Turbine and Correlation With Particle Image Velocimetry and Laser Doppler Velocimetry Measurements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: It is a well-known fact and a much studied problematic that the performance of low-head hydraulic turbines is highly dependent on the runner–draft tube coupling. Around the optimal operating conditions, the efficiency of ...
