Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSTUDY OF THE LIGHTNING IMPACT ON THE WIND-TURBINEDib Djalel, Guebla Abdallah, Labar HocineGenerally, lightning damage has mainly been to home appliances and telephones, Towers and power transmission and generation equipment mal functions and damage due to strikes on power lines. With the adoption of wind power generation equipment, however, lightning damage is also increasing in this area. Through his dimensional characteristics and the wind power system is more exposed in the nature … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 16 Oct 2014 · 7,049 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA New Design of Blade for Small Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbine with Low Wind Speed OperationParamet Pathike, Thanad Katpradit, Pradit Terdtoon, Phrut SakulchangsatjataiIn Thailand, the average wind speed throughout the country is comparatively low for normally-available wind turbine. Designing of a new blade suitable for applications in the average wind speed of 3-7 m sec-1 is, thus, a main objective of this study. High torque has to be obtained properly to generate electricity. In order to design and evaluate performance, our mechanical … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 26 Aug 2013 · 8,067 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePerformance Analysis and Components Irreversiblities of a (25 MW) Gas Turbine Power Plant Modeled with a Spray CoolerFidelis Ibiang Abam, Ikpi U. Ugot, Dodeye Ina IgbongIn this study the effect of inlet air cooling system and components irreversibilities on the performance of an active 25MW gas turbine power plant was investigated. The objective of this study was to establish the potential benefits of improving the performance of the current gas turbine plant into a more advanced cycle with high efficiency and power output through inlet … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 24 Feb 2012 · 9,387 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImprovement of the Runner Design of Francis Turbine using Computational Fluid DynamicsSuthep Kaewnai, Somchai WongwisesProblem statement: The objective of this study is to improve runner design of the Francis turbine and analyze its performance with the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique. Approach: A runner design process uses a direct method with the following design conditions: flow rate of 3.12m3/sec head of 46.4 m and speed of 750 rpm or dimensionless specific speed of 0.472. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 25 Jan 2012 · 8,924 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleForecast and Performance of Wind TurbinesT. Ahilan, S. Arumugham, R. Suja ManimalarProblem statement: Wind energy industry is a nonprofit organization that works hands-on with local and community based wind projects, providing technical support to create an understanding of wind energy opportunities for rural economic benefit. This study provides a detailed vision of the global wind power market and the Indian wind market in particular. It also helps in analyzing and forecasting … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 2 Dec 2011 · 7,913 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePower Quality Analysis in 6 MW Wind Turbine Using Static Synchronous CompensatorR. Valarmathi, A. ChilambuchelvanProblem statement: An inherent problem with wind turbine power generation systems is the low power quality due to intermittent power generation in these systems. This not only affects the power generation but also the grid it is connected to. Approach: In this study a configuration consisting of a 6MW Wind Farm based on conventional Fixed Speed Induction Generator is analyzed. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 23 Nov 2011 · 7,237 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSimulation of Airflow and Aerodynamic Forces Acting on a Rotating Turbine VentilatorA.S. Farahani, N.M. Adam, M.K.A. AriffinProblem statement: Rotating turbine ventilators were generally found in most countries. They were simple in structure, light in weight and cheap to install. It was quite surprising that, the aerodynamics of this common device had not been numerically examined and the design process of most of these ventilators had developed progressively through trial and error methods. Approach: This study was … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,719 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComparison and Parametric Study of Flameless Oxidation in a Gas Turbine Using Two Kinetics MechanismsMohamed Hamdi, Hmaïed Benticha, Mohamed SassiThe so-called "Flameless Oxidation" is a novel combustion mode, in which combustion products are re-circulated and mixed into the fresh incoming fuel and air streams. This reduces the concentration of the reactants and thereby reducing the reaction rate through avoiding the formation of sharp high temperature zones in the combustion chamber. Flameless combustion has been acknowledged as one of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,957 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePitch Angle Control of Variable Speed Wind TurbineYousif El-TousThe aim of this study is to design a simple controller to maximize the extracted energy of wind turbines. In this study the pitch angle control of variable speed wind turbine is investigated. In particular, it concentrates on the extraction of maximum available energy, reduction of torque and output power variations, which gives stresses in the gearbox and mechanical structure. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 8,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleVerification of Anchoring in Foundations of Wind Turbine TowersNafsika Stavridou, Evangelos Efthymiou, Charalampos C. BaniotopoulosTubular steel towers are the most common supporting structure of wind converters. The towers’ foundation covers an important part of the initial cost and its configuration depends heavily on the type of subsoil. Onshore structures are founded on spread footing foundations or pile foundations with the first being the commonest. In these spread footing foundations, the tower is either embedded … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 23 Nov 2015 · 8,398 accessesView PDFCite
