This study aims to develop a simple-practical design procedure determine the appropriate size of turbine's outer radius for any given internal parameters according available flow rate through numerical calculation. The calculation is performed using python programming language by combining existing model Archimedes turbine, including power model, turbine capacity, and losses modeling, into proc...

The flow of water in the pipeline for household needs is a source energy that can generate electrical through Pico hydro turbines or small-power turbines. experiment has been conducted on 10 Watt turbine mounted pipe against changes discharge. performance analysis experimentally (actual) and theoretically (ideal). results showed greater discharge flow, power generated by turbine. In tests with ...

The Savonius wind turbine is a type of vertical axis wind turbine (VAWTs) that is simply composed of two or three arc-type blades which can generate power even under poor wind conditions. A modified Savonius wind turbine with novel blade shapes is introduced with the aim of increasing the power coefficient of the turbine. The effect of blade fullness, which is a main shape parameter of the blad...

Wind turbine is a technology which converting wind energy to electric power. Wind energy is easily accessible anywhere in the world and is one of renewable energy. However, in Kuala Terengganu, the lower average wind speed become one of the factors wind turbine has not been used widely as alternative method for generating the electric power. Thereby, small scale wind turbine which can generate ...

Turbine blade cooling is considered as the most effective way of maintaining high operating temperature making use of the available materials, and turbine systems with wet compression have a potential for future power generation because of high efficiency and high specific power with a relatively low cost. In this paper performance analysis of wet-compression gas turbine cycle with turbine blad...

Hard particles as Quartz and Feldspar are present in large amount in most of the rivers across the Himalayan basins. In run-off-river hydro power plants these particles find way to turbine and cause its components to erode. Loss of turbine material due to the erosion and subsequent change in flow pattern induce several operational and maintenance problems in the power plants. Reduction in overa...

The water turbine must be specially designed according to the calculation of its energy potential, proportional height falling and discharge. This research is conducted study solution fluid engine that functions as a pico hydro turbine, namely centrifugal blower with simple construction, operating at low head, small discharge, easy installation operation price. used in this test already on mark...

Nowadays, the pump-storage power plants are a proven solution for storing electricity at large scale and offering flexibility to the power management. Therefore, the hydraulic machines are increasingly subject to off-design operation, start-up and shutdown sequences. However, the fast and frequent switching between pumping mode and generating mode presents technical challenges. In the present s...

The location of a wind turbine is critical to its power output, which is strongly affected by the local wind field. Turbine operators typically seek locations with the best wind at the lowest level above ground since turbine height affects installation costs. In many urban applications, such as small-scale turbines owned by local communities or organizations, turbine placement is challenging be...
