Unlike conventional hydro and tidal barrage installations, water current turbines in open flow can generate power from flowing water with almost zero environmental impact, over a much wider range of sites than those available for conventional tidal power generation. Recent developments in current turbine design are reviewed and some potential advantages of ducted or “diffuser-augmented” current...

Increasing concerns about energy and emissions from fuel consumption in gas turbines has attracted many researchers to protect the environment and reduce pollutants in the world. The main objective of this paper is to investigate the increasing efficiency of three-stroke gas turbine operation based on the technical analysis of the operation of three-axis gas turbine cycles with non-design condi...

Many challenges exist for the efficient and safe operation of wind turbines due to the difficulty in creating accurate models of their dynamic characteristics and the turbulent conditions in which they operate. A promising new area of wind turbine research is the application of adaptive control techniques, which are well suited to problems where the plant model is not well known and the plant o...

Probabilistic analysis is rapidly developing into a desirable tool to improve design processes. Incorporating probabilistics with optimization of three dimensional components is a step towards improving many current deterministic design systems. This paper develops a general purpose method using MSC/PATRAN and MSC/NASTRAN for three dimensional shape optimization that incorporates probabilistic ...

Pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) is currently the only proven large-scale energy storage technology. Frequent changes between pump and turbine operations pose significant challenges in the design of a pump-turbine runner with high efficiency and stability, especially for ultrahigh-head reversible pump-turbine runners. In the present paper, a multiobjective optimization design system is used t...
