This study combines theoretical analysis with validated simulations of a 21-bucket Pelton runner to clarify the evolution of jet-induced resultant forces under ultra-low-load single-nozzle operation and multi-nozzle operation with 1–6 active nozzles. Under single-nozzle operation at 5–20% rated output, the time-averaged resultant force increases linearly with discharge, and a predictive model is established to estimate the residual load directly from the flow rate. Under multi-nozzle operation with fixed discharge per nozzle, the mean resultant force is classified into three severity levels: severe imbalance for 1 and 5-nozzle modes, moderate imbalance for 2 and 4-nozzle modes, and near-balanced behaviour for 3 and 6-nozzle modes. In the classical 6-nozzle/21-bucket layout, a characteristic antipodal imbalance induced by a half-bucket phase shift is identified. To generalise this mechanism, a GCD-based phase-matching criterion is proposed, showing that better periodic force matching is achieved when the greatest common divisor of nozzle number and bucket number is at least 3. These findings provide a physically transparent framework for selecting nozzle configurations and operating modes while limiting residual hydrodynamic loads in flexible Pelton-based PHES operation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11647,"journal":{"name":"Energy","volume":"356 ","pages":"Article 141215"},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147827468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Solar Power Plants (SPP), maintenance and cleaning processes carried out during the operation cycles play critical roles in the long-term performance of photovoltaic (PV) panels, as much as system design and feasibility analyses. Dust and industrial pollutant accumulation on the PV panel surface over time prevent solar radiation from reaching the cells, resulting in significant losses in electrical efficiency. This study presents experimentally the effect of industrial pollution that has occurred over the years on the performance of PV panels of a power plant installed in an industrial region. Two of the fully polluted 250 W polycrystalline solar panels were selected randomly. One of the panels was thoroughly cleaned, whereas the latter remained dirty, with pollution levels of 75%, 60%, 45%, 30%, and 15% sequentially. In the experiments, PV solar panels were oriented at a 25° angle using the same mechanical structure, and the effects of various pollution levels on electrical performance were evaluated comparatively. As a result, the electrical efficiency losses were observed as 45%, 39%, 38%, and 34.8% with respect to the pollution levels of 75%, 60%, 45%, 30%, and 15%, respectively. Additionally, the back temperature varied between 44°C and 48°C for the fully cleaned panel, whereas it ranged from 42°C to 45°C for panels with various pollution levels.

However, shaft seal leakage under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions markedly degrade cycle performance and pose coupled challenges to thermal safety and operational stability, particularly under off-design conditions. In this study, an off-design model of a recompression sCO<sub>2</sub> direct cooled reactor Brayton cycle is developed to evaluate leakage effects, control strategies, and safety margins. Labyrinth seal leakage is incorporated, and a multi-layer iterative solution scheme is employed to ensure thermodynamic consistency under off-design conditions. The off-design performances of coaxial-shaft and split-shaft configurations are systematically compared in terms of thermal efficiency, net power output, and operating flexibility. Allowable leakage rates are evaluated against key safety constraints, including coolant, cladding, and fuel temperatures, as well as compressor stability limits. Five representative individual control strategies, rotational speed, inventory, turbine inlet pressure, turbine inlet temperature, and turbine bypass control are assessed over a wide load range, and segmented hybrid strategies are proposed by combining the best-performing control methods in each load region to enhance efficiency and operational robustness. In addition, the impact of leakage gas reinjection location is examined by accounting for the associated compression and heating work. The results indicate that the split-shaft configuration exhibits superior off-design adaptability due to decoupled rotational speeds. Turbine inlet pressure control is more effective at low-to-medium loads, while turbine inlet temperature control performs better at high loads.

A three-dimensional analytical model based on linear potential flow theory was developed to resolve the hydrodynamic interactions among the system units and was validated using the wave energy conservation law. The analysis begins by evaluating the wave-concentrating performance and wave reflection of the multi-arc type breakwater, followed by a comparative study and a parametric study concerning array spacing and the unit number. The results indicate a strong positive correlation between the energy capture performance of each integrated system unit and the wave amplitudes within the corresponding wave-concentrating chamber. Compared to a WEC array deployed in front of a vertical breakwater, the proposed integrated system exhibits significantly superior wave energy capture performance at low frequencies, attributed to piston-mode resonance within the chambers, and demonstrates less sensitivity to variations in the wave incident angle. Furthermore, the system reduces the average wave amplitude in the waveward region by more than 15% and simultaneously lowers the horizontal wave forces acting on the WECs. Under perpendicular wave incidence, array effects enhance the energy capture performance, yielding a maximum mean interaction factor of 1.96.
