The type of turbine developed is based on the very low head of water potential source for the electric power production. The area of research is focused for the axial water turbine that can be applied at the simple site open channel with has a very low cost and environmental impact compared to the conventional hydro installation. High efficiency of axial turbine which applied to the very low potential head will made this type of turbine can be used at wider potential site. Existing irrigation weir and river area will be the perfect site for this turbine. This paper will compare the effects of the variation of swirl velocity criterion during the design of the blade of guide vane and rotor of the turbine. Effects of the swirl velocity criterion is wider known as a vortex conditions (free vortex, force vortex and swirl velocity constant), and the free vortex is the very popular condition that applied by most of turbine designer, therefore will be interesting to do a comparison against other criterion. ANSYS Fluent will be used for simulation and to determine the predictive performance obtained by each of design criteria.

Clean and renewable energy technologies using ocean energy give us non-polluting alternatives to fossil and nuclear-fueled power plants to meet establishment of countermeasures against the global warming and growing demand for electrical energy. Among the ocean energy resources, wave power takes a growing interest because of its enormous amount of potential energy in the world. Therefore, various types of wave power conversion system to capture the energy of ocean waves have been developed. However, suitable turbine type is not normalized yet because of relatively low efficiency of the turbine systems. The purpose of this study is to investigate the internal flow and performance characteristics of a cross-flow type hydro turbine, which will be built in a caisson for wave power generation. Numerical simulation using a commercial CFD code is conducted to clarify the effects of the turbine rotation speed and flow rate variation on the turbine characteristics. The results show that the output power of the cross-flow type hydro turbine with symmetric nozzle shape is obtained mainly from Stage 2. Turbine inlet configuration should be designed to obtain large amount of flow rate because the static pressure and absolute tangential velocity are influenced considerably by inlet flow rate.

A pump turbine is a technically matured option for energy production and storage systems. At the off-design operating range, the pump turbine succumbed to flow instabilities, which correlated with the pump turbine geometry. A low specific speed pump turbine was designed and modified according to the impeller blade angle. Reynolds-Average Navier-Stokes is carried out with a shear stress transport turbulence model to evaluate the detailed flow characteristics in the pump turbine. The impeller blade inlet angle (𝛽₁) and outlet angle (𝛽₂) are used to evaluate hydraulic loss in the pump turbine. When 𝛽₁ changed from low to high value, the maximum efficiency is increased by 4.75% in turbine mode. The S-Curve inclination is reduced by 8% and 42% for changes in 𝛽₁ and 𝛽₂ from low to high values, respectively. At α = 21°, the shock loss coefficient (𝜁_s) is reduced by 16% and 19% with increases of 𝛽₁ and 𝛽₂ from low to high values, respectively. When 𝛽₁ and 𝛽₂ values increased from low to high, the impeller friction coefficient (𝜁_f) increased and decreased by 20% and 8%, respectively. Hence, the high 𝛽₂ effectively reduced the loss coefficient and S-Curve inclination.

해양온도차발전은 해양의 따뜻한 표층수와 차가운 심층수의 온도차를 발전에 이용하는 전도유망한 기술이다. 지속가능한 온도차를 이용하여 온실가스감축기술로서 활용할 수 있다는 장점을 가지는 반면, 시스템의 효율이 낮다는 단점을 가진다. 해양온도차발전의 낮은 시스템 효율을 개선하기 위해서는 성능이 우수한 터빈의 설계 및 개발기술의 확보가 필요하다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 R32를 이용한 100kW급 해양온도차발전용 반경류터빈을 설계하였으며, CFD 해석을 통해 설계한 터빈의 성능을 검증하였다. CFD 해석결과를 참고하여 설계한 반경류터빈의 형상을 수정하였으며 이러한 과정을 반복하여 설계요구조건에 적합한 해양온도차발전용 반경류터빈의 최종 형상을 도출하였다.

The Kaplan turbine model has been tested and analized. The blade angle and the guide vane opening of the turbine model were designed to be varied according to the best combination of guide vane and runner blade opening. When the changes in head and output were comparatively large, the efficincy drop were small, so the efficiency characteristics and stability of the entire operating condition were maintained in good condition. These results showed that the developed model in this study will be suitable for small hydro power stations with large changes in head and load.

Design analysis of the solid oxide fuel cell and gas turbine combined power system is performed considering different methods for preheating cell inlet air. The purpose of air preheating is to keep the temperature difference between cell inlet and outlet within a practical design range. Three different methods are considered such as a burner in front of the cell, a preheater in front of the cell and recirculation of the cathode exit gas. Analyses are carried out for two maximum cell temperature differences. The greater temperature difference ensures higher efficiency. The cathode exit gas recirculation exhibits better performance than other methods.
