When simulating the dynamic behaviour of a hydro power plant, it is essential to have a good representation of the turbine behaviour. The pressure transients in the system occurs because the flow changes, which the turbine defines. The flow through the turbine is a function of the pressure, the speed of rotation and the wicket gate opening and is, most often described in a performance diagram or Hill diagram. In the Hill diagram, the efficiency is drawn like contour lines, hence the name. A turbines Hill diagram is obtained by performance tests on scaled model in a laboratory. However, system dynamic simulations have to be performed in the early stage of a project, before the turbine manufacturer has been chosen and the Hill diagram is known. Therefore one have to rely on diagrams for a turbine with similar speed number. The Hill diagram is drawn through measured points, so for using the diagram in a simulation program, one have to iterate in the diagram based on curve fitting of the measured points. This paper describes an alternative method. By means of the Euler turbine equation, it is possible to set up two differential equations which represents the turbine performance with good enough accuracy for the dynamic simulations. The only input is the turbine's main geometry, the runner blade in- and outlet angle and the guide vane angle at best efficiency point of operation (BEP). In the paper, simulated turbine characteristics for a high head Francis turbine, and for a reversible pump turbine are compared with laboratory measured characteristics.

The radial turbine has been successfully applied to the systems which request relatively small output compared with the axial turbine, and has low manufacturing cost due to it's small size and simple structure. Recently, the researches on the development and the efficiency maximization of the radial turbine are in progress corresponding with the trend toward miniaturization in turbo machinery and the development of small dispersed power generation systems. The radial turbine is to be applied to our turbo refrigerator of which engine speed is 26,000 rpm and turbine efficiency is $88\%$. Also, as a heat exchanger is accepted instead of a combustor in our turbo refrigerator, the design of radial turbine has been performed to be appropriate to the circumstance of low temperature air, not high temperature combustor gas, into the turbine inlet . This radial turbine is being developed in consideration with not only the aero-dynamic performance but also the simplification of manufacturing and integration, and the durability at operating condition. This paper refer to the performance evaluation about the radial turbine design by comparison with consulting from Russia and the our evaluation about various design factors which are considered in aero-dynamic design process.

본 연구에서는 속도 복합형 초음속 충동형 터빈의 최적 동익 오버랩을 선정하기에 앞서, 사전연구차원에서 동익 오버랩에 따른 터빈 성능특성을 분석하였다. 축대칭 노즐과 환형 노즐 대신에 사각단면 초음속 노즐이 적용된 속도 복합형 터빈에 대해 연구를 수행하였다. 상용 유동해석 프로그램을 이용한 터빈의 3차원 전산해석을 통해 익근보다는 익단에 오버랩을 적용한 경우가 터빈의 성능을 향상시키는데 더 효과적이며, 익근과 익단 모두 오버랩을 적용한 경우가 터빈의 성능 향상 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 2단 동익 오버랩의 경우, 전체 터빈에서 2단이 발생시키는 출력이 약 22~23%에 지나지 않으므로 2단 동익 오버랩에 의한 터빈 성능 향상은 크지 않은 것으로 파악되었다.

Domestic hydroelectric power plants has been manufactured as the design condition by the demand. Hydraulic turbine power plants operating at appointed load shall be operate stable in terms of pressure, discharge, rotational speed and torque. A performance guarantees for hydro turbines shall be contain, as a minimum, guarantees covering power, discharge and specific hydraulic energy, efficiency, maximum momentary overspeed and maximum momentary pressure and maximum steady-state runaway speed, as well as guarantees related to cavitation. But, present in Korea, the absence of testing laboratories and technical criteria for the performance test of small hydropower degrades the efficiency of the domestic hydropower machines, and makes it difficult to objectively evaluate the performance of hydro turbine. Therefore We planned making a basis of performance test of small hydropower turbine by using our flowmeter calibration system the largest one in Korea. We planned the maximum measurable power of hydro turbine will be 200 kW in our system.

In this study, an in-house program to predict steady state operation of micro gas turbines is constructed using MATLAB. The program consists of two parts: design and off-design simulations. The program is fully modular in its structure, and performance of each component (compressor, combustor, turbine, recuperative heat exchanger and pipe elements) is calculated in a separate calculation module using mass and energy balances as well as models for off-design characteristics. The off-design modules of compressor and turbine use performance maps, which are program inputs. The off-design operation of a micro gas turbine under development was predicted by the program. The prediction results were compared with those by commercial software, and the validity of the in-house program was confirmed.

The Wells turbine is one of the simplest and most promising self-rectifying air turbines which are useful for the systems of alternative energy development in near future, and it is economically desirable from the point of view of the practical use, as well. To investigate the effect of blade sweep on the performance of the Wells turbine, computations of a fully 3-D Navier-Stokes are carried out under steady flow conditions of NACA0020 blade. It is known that the performance of the Wells turbine is considerably influenced by the blade sweep. An optimum blade sweep ratio(f=0.35) for the NACA0020 is found to be the most promising for the practical use, and this value is in good agreement with the previous experiments. It is also found that the overall turbine performance for the NACA0020 is better than that for the CA9.

Power generation of wind turbine which is installed in wind farm should be measured to predict economic feasibility of wind farm. Also electric power company want to verify wind turbine performance which is stated by manufacturer. The International Electrotechnical Commission(IEC) published 61400-12-1 "Power performance measurements of electricity producing wind turbines" for test of wind turbine power performance. In this paper, measurable sector of wind speed is analysed based on IEC 61400-12-1 to verify power curve of wind turbine with various wind turbine in wind farm.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of nozzle shape on the performance and internal flow of a cross-flow hydro turbine. CFD analysis for three kinds of nozzle shape is conducted to simulate the effect of nozzle shape. The results reveal that relatively narrow nozzle width is effective to increase the turbine efficiency and output power. Almost output power is achieved at Stage 1. Therefore, optimum design of the nozzle shape is necessary to improve the turbine performance. Recirculation flow in the runner passage decreases the turbine efficiency and output power because the flow make hydraulic loss and collision loss in the region. Air should be put into the runner passage and the recirculating flow should be suppressed by the air layer in the runner.
