Review of Optimal Selection of Turbines for Hydroelectric Projects
نویسندگان
چکیده
The human demand for electricity and fresh water is ever increasing. Due to the nature of hydropower and its economic, social, and environmental benefits, hydropower will be an important contributor to the energy mix of the future. Isolated areas, severely underdeveloped regions, disaster-stricken zones, and remote military outposts have one common need: readily available and efficient means of power generation. The most effective manner to address these needs involves the use of power generating modules that utilize the locally available renewable energy resources. The general concept of a hydroelectric power plant to convert the kinetic and potential energy of the water (mass) moving with some speed (momentum) into a usable form of energy. Hydro power projects involve various considerations at different levels of project implementation. To harness the potential, new turbines have been developed and commercially available. For the cost effective and efficient project we need to study the optimal selection of hydro turbine .The objective of this paper is to review the selection of hydro turbine for hydroelectric project. KeywordsHydro classification, Hydro turbines, Turbine efficiency curve, Pico hydro technology, Selection charts.

متن کاملTransient response and life assessment: Case studies on the load rejection of two hydroelectric turbines
Transient events often account for most of the fatigue damage sustained by hydroelectric turbines during operation. Since one of these damageable events is load rejection, this paper presents a study of the dynamic response of two hydroelectric turbines during load rejection. The two turbines are similar in design and in overall measured behavior. However, we observed that the two turbine runne...

In the real world, risk and uncertainty are two natural properties in the implementation of Mega projects. Most projects fail to achieve the pre-determined objectives due to uncertainty. A linear integer programming optimization model was used in this work to solve a problem in order to choose the most appropriate risk responses for the project risks. A mathematical model, in which work structu...
