Competitive electricity prices and reduced profit margins have forced hydraulic turbines to
operate under critical conditions. The demand for extended operating ranges and the high …

The flexible peak-shaving and frequency-regulating forms of pumped-storage power
stations benefit from the conversion of multiple operation conditions of reversible pump …

Abstract Rotating Vortex Rope (RVR) has been a matter of focus for years due to the major
effects on hydraulic turbine's efficiency. The exact procedure of RVR formation is still vague …

The penetration of intermittent wind and solar power to the grid network above manageable
limits disrupts electrical power grids. Consequently, hydraulic turbines synchronized to the …

Applications of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) techniques to hydropower have
increased rapidly in the last three decades. The majority of the experimental investigations …

Hydropower refers to energy conversion from flowing water into electricity. Due to water
recycling by the Sun, hydropower is widely accepted as a form of renewable energy. A …

Hydraulic turbines include stationary and rotating components. The interaction of the
components, mainly between the runner blades and distributor vanes, is critical when the …
