In this paper, the design method of a low-head propeller-type hydro turbine is studied for various numbers of blades on an axial propeller. We also investigate the relationship between geometrical parameters and internal performance parameters, such as angular velocities (100, 200, 300, 400 rpm) and 2.5~4m low heads through a three-dimensional numerical method with the SST turbulent model. The numerical results showed that the blade number had a more dominant influence than the change in heads and rotational speed on the flow characteristics of the turbine. The distributions of pressure and velocity in the streamwise direction of the propeller turbine were graphically depicted. Especially, the relationship among dimensionless parameters like specific speed ($N_s$), flow coefficient (${\phi}$) and power coefficient (P) were investigated.

The Francis type hydro turbine with vertical axis has been designed and analized for hydraulic performance verification. The guide vane angle of turbine casing were designed to be varied according to the condition of head and flowrate. When the changes in flowrate and output were comparatively large, the efficiency 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 hydro turbine in this study will be suitable for small hydro power stations with medium and high head such as agricultural reservoirs and large dam.

A 30kw Dual rotor Turbines HAWT/VAWT combined wind turbine system that can drastically enhance the power production capability compared to conventional Single Rotor Turbine HAWT system. The combined system that takes advantage of strong point of both horizontal and vertical Axis wind turbine system developed by a venture firm KOWINTEC of Chonbuk national university. The HAWT/VAWT hybrid system has been successfully field tested and commercial operating since Feb. 12, 2001 in Hae-chang rest park, Bu-an county near the Sae Man-Kum Sea Dike. This paper will briefly describe the field test results performance and a special aerodynamic structure with bevel-planetary gear box of Dual Rotor Wind Turbine system.

Vertical axis wind turbine, despite of its limit in power efficiency, the simplicity in structure and maintenance is a competitive factor that keeps this type of turbine in the game until nowadays. Continuous solutions have been given to handle its major weakness and the use of omni-directional guide vane is an considerable one. In this paper, a 5kkW scale Savonius-based wind turbine enhanced with such guide vane system was design and studied. Together with reasonable blade design, the wind turbine shows promising performance compared with basic design while maintaining its original advantages.

In this study, the flow characteristics and structural safety of a 500W class vertical-axis wind turbines(VAWT) for a fishing boat are investigated by numerical simulations. Guide vanes to increase the performance of the VAWT are investigated. And the best guide vane in the numerical simulations is applied to the VAWT. Also, modal analyses are performed to find out the natural frequencies of the VAWT, and the resonance safety of the VAWT is evaluated. The structural analysis of the VAWT is carried out by one-way FSI(Fluid Structure Interaction). And the results are used for the evaluation of structural safety according to IEC 61400-1 code. Finally, the possibility of the installation of the VAWT on the wheelhouse of a 9.77ton class fishing boat is checked. The results of the present research could be used as one of the fundamental data to design a VAWT for a fishing boat.

The objective of this paper is to develop 360 W class wind turbine tree using a helical type wind turbine. The performance of 100 W class helical wind turbine which finished the conceptual design has been forecast through the CFD analysis. After performed the analysis of one wind turbine performance, four wind turbine have been installed at the structure of a tree type and then the change of a output data has been verified through the CFD analysis. In this study, the CFD results of a helical wind turbine tree have been shown by a velocity and pressure distribution. The result could obtain more than rated power 360 W through the CFD analysis.
