BIPLANE AXIAL TURBINE WITH SETTING ANGLE FOR WAVE POWER GENERATOR

Turbine Control of a Tidal and River Power Generator: Preprint

As renewable generation has become less expensive during recent decades, and it becomes more accepted by the global population, the focus on renewable generation has expanded to include new types with promising future applications, such as river and tidal generation. The input variations to these types of resources are slower but also steadier than wind or solar generation. The level of water t...

Numerical Analysis of Wells Turbine for Wave Power Conversion

Article history: Received 26.04.2012. Received in revised form 17.07.2012. Accepted 17.07.2012. Sea wave energy is one of the high potential renewable energy sources. The Wells turbine as the main part of Oscillating Water Column energy plant is analyzed in this paper. The Wells turbine uses air flow produced by the pressure change inside the oscillating water column. Efficient energy transform...

Reasons for wind turbine generator failures: a multi-criteria approach for sustainable power production

Power generation quantity from wind sector is increasing at much faster rate day by day in the scenario of power systems, which obviously needs reliable operation. Therefore, accurate monitoring and error diagnosis are almost mandatory. This paper aims to identify important errors that affect the performance and can easily detect the faults of wind turbine generators (WTGs). Wind turbines are s...

Turbine Speed Variation Study in Gas Power Plant for an Active Generator

This research deals with investigations on the “Active Generator” under rotor speed variations and output frequency control. It runs at turbine speed and it is connected to a three phase electrical power grid which has its own frequency different from turbine frequency. In this regard the set composed of a four phase synchronous generator and a natural commutated matrix converter (NCMC) made wi...
