RISA Comparison of Different Approaches to Estimate the Efficiency of Wells Turbines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Wells turbines are among the most interesting power takeoff devices used in oscillating water column (OWC) systems for the conversion of ocean-wave energy into electrical energy. Several configurations have been studied ...
A Critical Examination of the Hysteresis in Wells Turbines Using Computational Fluid Dynamics and Lumped Parameter Models
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The hysteretic behavior of oscillating water column (OWC)-installed Wells turbines has been known for decades. The common explanation invokes the presence of unsteady aerodynamics due to the continuously varying incidence ...
