  2. 1. EAL's boundary lubrication performance in hydro power plants

    Author : Jan Ukonsaari; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Maskinelement; Machine Elements;

    Abstract : This licentiate thesis concerns the possibility to change mineral based hydraulic fluid to environmentally adapted lubricants (EAL's) in water turbine applications from the point of view of boundary lubrication. A new test rig was designed to meet the conditions for a slow and/or intermittent motion journal bearing. READ MORE

  4. 2. Ventilation of a Model Hydro-Generator, An Experimental and Numerical Study

    Author : Hamed Jamshidi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CFD; Ventilation; Hydro Power Generator; Experiment;

    Abstract : Generators are sophisticated machines used to convert the mechanical energy of a prime mover into electrical energy. Electromagnetic and mechanical losses accompany this energy conversion process. Cooling systems remove the heat, generated by losses, from these machines. READ MORE

  5. 3. Ventilation Flow Field Characteristics of a Hydro-Generator Model- An experimental and Numerical Study

    Author : Hamed Jamshidi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Naphthalene Sublimation Technique; Hydro Power Generator; Ventilation; Experiment; CFD;

    Abstract : Hydro-generators are complex machines used to convert the mechanical energy of the water turbine into electrical energy. Electromagnetic and mechanical losses accompany this energy conversion process which will cause heat generation and temperature increase. Cooling systems are needed to remove this excess heat from hydro-generators. READ MORE

  6. 4. CFD of Air Flow in Hydro Power Generators

    Author : Pirooz Moradnia; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; OpenFOAM; MultipleReferenceFrame; CFD; Generator; Launder-Sharma k-ε;

    Abstract : The air flow through a generator has been numerically investigated with different rotor and stator designs to give a better understanding of the flow for cooling purposes. A simple rotor design has been chosen to start with, and modified through a set of changes, where stepwisemodifications have been imposed to the design of the rotor and the stator. READ MORE

  7. 5. Hydro-mechanical optimization of a wave energy converter

    Author : Chisom Miriam Ekweoba; Andrej Savin; Halvar Gravråkmo; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Ballast optimization; analytical model; pitching wave energy converter; power absorption performance; wave energy converter; geometry optimization; genetic algorithm; floating platform; extended degrees of freedom; beam model; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Abstract : Wave energy conversion technology has gained popularity due to its potential to be-come one of the most preferred energy sources. Its high energy density and low car-bon footprint have inspired the development of many wave energy converter (WEC) technologies, few of which have made their way to commercialisation, and many are progressing.
