Pelton turbine is the most commonly used high head impulse turbine with low discharge. For obtaining highest power output from runner one of the most important parameter is quality of jet which strikes bucket tangentially. The quality of jet and its impact work depends on the distance between the nozzle exit and runner along with its angle of strike. In the present paper, the effect of distance...

Abstract: We present two control strategies for an oscillating water column-wave energy converter (OWC-WEC) in the time domain. We consider a fixed OWC-WEC on the open sea with an impulse turbine module. This system mainly consists of a chamber, turbine and electric generator. For the time domain analysis, all of the conversion stages considering mutualities among them should be analyzed based ...

The paper presents both a numerical and an experimental approach to study the air flow characteristics of a novel small wind turbine and to predict its performance. The turbine model was generated based on impulse turbine principles in order to be employed in an omni-flow wind energy system in urban areas. The results have shown that the maximum flow velocity behind the stator can be increased ...
