چکیده
In the framework of new feed-in-tariff system in Switzerland for Small Hydropower Plants (SHP), aim SmallFLEX project, led by HES-SO Valais and performed collaboration with EPFL, WSL, EAWAG, PVE, FMV, is to show how SHP can provide winter peak energy ancillary services, whilst remaining eco-compatible. The pilot demonstrator site selected small hydropower plant Gletsch-Oberwald (KWGO) owned FMV commissioned end 2017. This run-of-river power equipped two six-jet Pelton turbine units featuring a maximum 7 MW each.

Numerical simulation of cavitation flow characteristic on Pelton turbine bucket surface
The internal flow in the rotating bucket of Pelton turbine is free water sheet flow with moving boundary. The runner operates under atmospheric and the cavitation in the bucket is still a controversial problem. While more and more field practice proved that there exists cavitation in the Pelton turbine bucket and the cavitation erosion may occur at the worst which will damage the bucket. So a w...
متن کاملEffect of Jet Shape on Flow and Torque Characteristics of Pelton Turbine Runner
In Pelton turbine, the energy carried by water is converted into kinetic energy by providing nozzle at the end of penstock. The shape of jet affects the force and torque on the bucket and runner of turbine. The nozzle of circular cross section is commonly used. In this paper attempt has been made to study the effect of four different jet shapes on the flow and torque characteristics of Pelton t...
متن کاملDynamic response of a shaft of a Pelton turbine due to impact of water jet
Performance and reliability of any rotating machine can be studied by proper dynamic analysis of the machine. In this regard, this paper presents the method to study the dynamic response of the shaft of a Pelton turbine due to the impact of water jet. Equations of motion for the bending vibration of Pelton turbine assembly, in two transverse directions, is developed by using Lagrange equation o...
متن کاملFrom Large Simulations to Interactive Numerical Laboratories
High Performance Computing is becoming an instrument in its own right. The largest simulations performed on our supercomputers are now approaching petabytes. As the volume of these simulations is growing, it is becoming harder to access, analyze and visualize these data. At the same time for a broad community buy-in we need to provide public access to some of the simulation results. This is bec...
متن کاملNumerical simulations of glottal flow
Features of glottal flow are visualized by numerical simulation, using a Navier-Stokes solver for two-dimensional, incompressible flow. Four different shapes of glottal passages are examined, for comparison to stationary model measurements. Results include pressure distributions leading to the forces acting on the vocal folds and illustrate entry pressure loss and exit recovery. Flow field imag...
