  2. 1. Experimental Investigation of Performance, Flow Interactions and Rotor Forcing in Axial Partial Admission Turbines

    Author : Jens Fridh; Torsten Fransson; Björn Laumert; Jürgen Seume; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; axial turbine; partial admission; part loads; experimental investigation; turbine performance; losses; dynamic rotor forces; forced response; unsteady flow; axialturbin; partialpådrag; dellaster; reglersteg; experimentell undersökning; turbinprestanda; förluster; dynamiska krafter; rotorvibration; instationär strömning;

    Abstract : The thesis comprises a collection of four papers with preceding summary and supplementary appendices. The core investigation solely is of experimental nature although reference and comparisons with numerical models will be addressed. READ MORE

  4. 2. Dynamic Modeling of Hydropower Generators

    Author : David Rondon; Jan-Olov Aidanpää; Rolf Gustavsson; Florian Thiery; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Maskinkonstruktion; Machine Design;

    Abstract : Modeling the dynamics of hydropower generators has been the aim pursued by many studies, as providing a reliable model would lead to more cost-effective designs. Hydropower generators comprise many parts, tilting-pad bearings, shaft, rotor rim, and stator among them, that contribute to the system's nonlinearities. READ MORE

  5. 3. Aerodynamics of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines : Development of Simulation Tools and Experiments

    Author : Eduard Dyachuk; Hans Bernhoff; Sandra Eriksson; Anders Goude; Mac Gaunaa; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : wind power; vertical axis turbine; H-rotor; simulations; streamtube model; vortex model; dynamic stall; measurements; blade; force; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Abstract : This thesis combines measurements with the development of simulation tools for vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT). Numerical models of aerodynamic blade forces are developed and validated against experiments. The studies were made on VAWTs which were operated at open sites. READ MORE

  6. 4. Rotor dynamical modelling and analysis of hydropower units

    Author : Rolf Gustavsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Computer Aided Design; Datorstödd maskinkonstruktion;

    Abstract : In almost all production of electricity the rotating machines serves as an important part of the energy transformation system. In hydropower units, a hydraulic turbine connected to a generator converts the potential energy stored in the water reservoir into electrical energy in the generator. READ MORE

  7. 5. Coupled vibrations in horizontal and vertical rotor-bearings systems

    Author : Jean-Claude Luneno; Magnus Karlberg; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Technology - Engineering mechanics; Teknikvetenskap - Teknisk mekanik; Hållfasthetslära; Solid Mechanics;

    Abstract : For dynamical systems having several degrees of freedom, motion in one direction can induce motion in the other and/or vice versa. This means that there is a certain coupling between these two motions. Coupling can in some cases be a source of instability that causes self-excited vibrations in rotating machinery. READ MORE
