Dynamic modal analysis during reduced scale model tests of hydraulic turbines for hydro-acoustic characterization of cavitation flows

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

Francis turbines operating at off-design conditions experience the development of unfavourable cavitation flows in the draft tube at the runner outlet, which induce pressure pulsations and hydro-acoustic resonances in the worst cases. The assessment of hyd ...

Physical Mechanism of Interblade Vortex Development at Deep Part Load Operation of a Francis Turbine

François Avellan, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Keita Yamamoto

For seamless integration of growing electricity production from intermittent renewable energy sources, Francis turbines are under increasing demand to extend their operating range. This requires Francis turbines to operate under off-design conditions, wher ...

Experimental and numerical investigations of a high-head pumped-storage power plant at speed no-load

François Avellan, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Vlad Hasmatuchi, Cécile Münch-Alligné

Due to the increasing integration of new renewable energies, the electrical grid undergoes more frequent instabilities. Hydroelectric power plants, particularly pumped storage plants, are well suited for grid control. However, this objective requires exten ...

Numerical investigation of the jet velocity profile and its influence on the Pelton turbine performance

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

Numerical investigation of the unsteady flow patterns around the bucket can be helpful to improve the Pelton turbine efficiency. In fact, by studying the loss mechanisms in the flow, one can optimize the bucket design. For this purpose, an accurate investi ...

Procedure for predicting part load resonance in Francis turbine hydropower units based on swirl number and local cavitation coefficient similitude

François Avellan, Christophe Nicolet, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Christian Landry, Loïc Andolfatto, Sébastien Alligné

Francis turbines operating at part load conditions develop a cavitation precessing vortex known as a vortex rope in the draft tube cone below the runner outlet. At part load conditions, this vortex precession acts as an excitation source inducing pressure ...

Reduced scale model testing for prediction of eigenfrequencies and hydro-acoustic resonances in hydropower plants operating in off-design conditions

François Avellan, Christophe Nicolet, Arthur Tristan Favrel, Joao Gomes Pereira Junior, Christian Landry, Sébastien Alligné

The massive penetration of the electrical network by renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, pushes the operators to extend hydropower plant units operating range to meet the transmission system operator requirements. However, in off-design opera ...
