Improving frequency containment reserve provision in run-of-river hydropower plants

Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Mario Paolone, Elena Vagnoni, Francesco Gerini

The paper presents a model-based control strategy for optimal asset management of hydroelectric units in run-of-river hydropower plants. The proposed control strategy aims to operate the unit at the best efficiency while improving water flow management and ...

Multilevel ensemble Kalman filtering for spatio-temporal processes

Fabio Nobile, Hakon Andreas Hoel

We design and analyse the performance of a multilevel ensemble Kalman filter method (MLEnKF) for filtering settings where the underlying state-space model is an infinite-dimensional spatio-temporal process. We consider underlying models that needs to be si ...

Open-Source Implementation and Validation of a 3D Inverse Design Method for Francis Turbine Runners

François Avellan, Sebastián Camilo Leguizamón Sarmiento

The hydraulic design of Francis turbines and pump-turbines is an expensive project-specific engineering effort that typically involves a direct iterative exploration of the design space. An inverse design method for turbomachinery has been previously intro ...

Swirl number based transposition of flow-induced mechanical stresses from reduced scale to full-size Francis turbine runners

François Avellan, Christian Landry, Joao Gomes Pereira Junior, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Keita Yamamoto

At part load conditions, Francis turbines are subject to the emergence of a hydrodynamic instability in their draft tube, referred to as precessing vortex rope. It induces pressure pulsations in the water passages at the precession frequency of the vortex, ...

Transposition of the mechanical behavior from model to prototype of Francis turbines

François Avellan, Eduard Egusquiza, Joao Gomes Pereira Junior

Hydropower is nowadays essential for balancing the electrical grid providing flexibility and fast response. The role of hydraulic turbines has changed from working at their Best Efficiency Point (BEP) to work in the whole operating range when demanded. Fra ...

GPU-accelerated numerical analysis of jet interference in a six-jet Pelton turbine using Finite Volume Particle Method

François Avellan, Christian Vessaz, Ebrahim Jahanbakhsh, Sebastián Camilo Leguizamón Sarmiento, Siamak Alimirzazadeh, Audrey Paulette Solange Maertens, Takashi Kumashiro

The Pelton turbine is an impulse turbine typically installed for high head hydroelectric power plants. For a site with a rated head H and discharge Q, a higher specific speed turbine results in a more compact generating unit with reduced manufacturing cost ...

Computational parametric analysis of the design of cross-flow turbines under constraints

François Avellan, Sebastián Camilo Leguizamón Sarmiento

The cross-flow turbine is an attractive technology for small-scale hydropower generation thanks to its low capital cost and relatively high efficiency even under partial discharge operating conditions. It has been proposed that this kind of turbine can be ...

Dynamic behaviour of a Francis turbine during voltage regulation in the electrical power system

François Avellan, Elena Vagnoni

Hydroelectric units can be operated in synchronous condenser mode to provide reactive power to the electrical power system (EPS) for voltage regulation. In this operating mode, the hydraulic turbine consumes active power and in case of hydroelectric units ...
