Prediction of Erosion Damages in Hydraulic MAchines (PREDHYMA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

"Hydraulic turbines can undergo severe damaging during operation, because of low quality water or detrimental flow conditions. Damaging induces maintenance costs and power production losses, and can also endanger safety of installations. Hydropower plants operators and turbine manufacturers are interested in extending overhaul periods by reducing damaging intensity and protecting turbine component ...

HYdropower plants PERformance and flexiBle Operation towards Lean integration of new renewable Energies (HYPERBOLE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

In the recent years due to tremendous development and integration of renewable energy resources in Europe, hydraulic turbines and pump-turbines are key technical components to contribute to renewable energy production and to compensate for the stochastic nature of the variable energy sources, preserving thus the electrical grid stability.As a result, the overarching objective of the project is the ...

Simulation of Transients in Hydraulic Machines (SiTHyM)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

Because of the evolution of the electricity market in Europe hydraulic machines are operated in non conventional conditions. This leads to the apparition of strong transient flow phenomena that are not well understood. Conventional numerical simulation tools are not well adapted to capture these transient phenomena. It is proposed to use a novel approach based on the mesh-free technique Smoothed P ...

Next generation Multi-mechanics Simulation Environment (NextMuSE) (NextMuSE)

Start date: Apr 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

The objective of NextMuSE is to initiate a paradigm shift in the technology of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Computational Multi-Mechanics (CMM) simulation software which is used to model physical processes in research and technology development across a range of industries.NextMuSE relies on a mesh-free method, Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), which is fundamentally different from ...

Development and laboratory testing of improved action and Matrix hydro turbines designed by advanced analysis and optimization tools (HYDROACTION)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

"The overall concept of the proposed project is to improve the hydraulic efficiency of small action type turbines, through the development and application of a numerical optimization methodology, that will be validated by the construction and laboratory testing of the prototype models of Pelton, Turgo and Matrix turbines representing both action and reaction types. The methodology to be developed ...
