We present a wind simulation framework for offshore and onshore wind farms. The simulation framework involves an automatic hybrid high-quality mesh generation process, a pre-processing to impose initial and boundary ...

The main objective of this paper is to introduce an academic example on the use of histograms to develop a wind turbine blade fault (or damage) detection system. This approach merely uses data analysis obtained from a ...

Modern wind power plants are required and designed to ride through faults in electrical networks, subject to fault clearing. Wind turbine fault current contribution is required from most countries with a high amount of ...

The ability of hydropower to adapt the electricity generation to the demand is necessary to integrate wind and solar energy into the electrical grid. Nowadays, hydropower turbines are required to work under harsher operating ...

The Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic occurred simultaneously with the development of the present work and led to the closure of all testing facilities in the faculty where this work was originally set to take place: ...

This paper deals with the dynamic response of pump-turbine impellers. A pump-turbine impeller is a complex structure attached to a rotor and rotating inside a casing full of water with very small clearances between the ...

La necesidad de explotación óptima de los recursos hidráulicos disponibles en un país deficitario energéticamente como es España lleva a que en los concursos de explotación publicados por los distintos órganos de cuenca ...

Tidal currents are one of the most promising sources of power within the renewable energy sector, especially for countries with suitable marine conditions. The United Kingdom has the edge over the rest of countries in ...

The fast change in new renewable energy is affecting directly the required operating range of hydropower plants. According to the present demand of electricity, it is necessary to generate different levels of power. Because ...
