The choice of hydraulic turbine manufacturer and their performance assessment are becoming major challenges. Evaluating product criterion and selecting optimum manufacturer are complicated tasks due to the fact that various criteria or objectives must be considered in the decision making process having various importance. In this study, we proposed a hydro turbine manufacturer selection analysi...

In this paper, an artificial-based optimizes and analysis of an optimal proportional, integral, derivative (PID) controller is introduced for a hydro-turbine generator governor. The main purpose, optimization PID controller parameters of hydro-turbine connected to the network for damping output frequency oscillation. In The proposed approach, an optimal and evolutionary based proportional, inte...

Micro-hydro power plants are power plants with small capacity, which is built in specific locations. The main problem of micro-hydro is the voltage generated is not stable at 220 VA and frequency of 50 Hz. A microhydro that was constructed by Lie Jasa et al. in Gambuk village at Pupuan sub-district, Tabanan district of Bali province, Indonesia in 2010 is still an open loop system in which spin ...

On the basis of the state–space method (SSM), a novel linear mathematical model of the unsteady flow for the tailrace system with an open channel is proposed. This novel model is an elastic linearized model of water hammer. The validity of the model has been verified by several examples of numerical simulation, which are based on a finite difference technique. Then, the complete mathematical mo...

Power system is a combination of a number of sources and loads properly linked by a transmission system. The source is a generating system fueled by renewable or non renewable system where bio mass fuel is used to generate electric power. Due to low levels of bio fuel availability, the gas turbine system is considered as a weak system when compared to thermal and hydro systems. However, stable ...

Design and manufacturing of a high performance micro-hydro-kinetic turbine is discussed in the present paper. The main goal is manufacturing an equipped experimental model of hydro-kinetic turbine with highest energy absorption from water current. A multi-shape ducted turbine comprised of a multi-part diffuser was manufactured that can be converted to many experimental models for studying vario...
