  1. 1. Hydro-Kinetic Energy Conversion : Resource and Technology

    Författare :Mårten Grabbe; Mats Leijon; Cameron Johnstone; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Tidal energy; renewable energy; vertical axis turbine; permanent magnet generator; resource assessment; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Sammanfattning : The kinetic energy present in tidal currents and other water courses has long been appreciated as a vast resource of renewable energy. The work presented in this doctoral thesis is devoted to both the characteristics of the hydro-kinetic resource and the technology for energy conversion. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Low head pumped hydro storage with contra-rotating pump-turbines

    Författare :Jonathan Fahlbeck; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy storage; Pumped hydro storage; CFD; Transients; Pump-turbine; Low head; OpenFOAM; Contra-rotating; Hydropower;

    Sammanfattning : The increasing share of electrical energy production by intermittent sources pushes the demand for energy storage. Pumped hydro storage (PHS) has a long history of providing a cost-efficient energy storage solution. However, for PHS to be a viable option, a large head is typically required. LÄS MER

  4. 3. System Perspectives on Hydro-Kinetic Energy Conversion

    Författare :Katarina Yuen; Mats Leijon; Chul Hee Jo; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; tidal energy; permanent magnet; direct-drive; in-stream power converter; load control; vertical axis turbine; renewable energy; engineering science; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Sammanfattning : Free-flowing water currents such as tides and unregulated water courses could contribute to world electricity production given the emergence of robust technical solutions for extracting the energy. At Uppsala University, a concept for converting the energy in water currents to electricity using a vertical axis turbine with fixed blade-pitch and a direct-drive permanent magnet generator is studied.

    Sammanfattning : Swirling flows are common in technical applications, e.g. turbines, pumps, fans, compressors and combustors. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Numerical modeling of deforming bubble transport related to cavitating hydraulic turbines

    Författare :Daniel Lörstad; Institutionen för energivetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Gases; fluid dynamics; plasmas; Gaser; fluiddynamik; plasma; Energy research; Energiforskning; Direction Averaged Curvature DAC ; Direction Averaged Normal DAN ; Volume of Solid VOS ; Volume of Fluid VOF ; Lagrangian Particle Tracking LPT ; Large Eddy Simulation LES ; bubble; multiphase; turbulent flows; CFD; hydro-turbine;

    Sammanfattning : Cavitation is a problem in many hydroelectric power plants since it can cause adverse effects on performance and damage to nearby solid surfaces. The concerns of this thesis are the numerical aspects of flow simulations in cavitating hydraulic turbines which contain several difficulties: turbulent and complex flows, steady and moving parts of the geometry, bubble transport and cavitation development.
