This study utilizes a 3D numerical analysis to examine the influence of different vortices generated on turbine efficiency with straight and J-type blades. The numerical simulation of this study employs the Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes equations and ‎sliding ‎mesh techniques ‎to more accurately model the rotational motion of blades about the turbine axis in relation to the ‎wind. Comparing the output ‎torque and the flow field at different span-wise sections, the J-type blades achieve better ‎performance at mid-spans where the effect of stall vortices is dominant. Conversely, the lower ‎performance of J-type blades is seen at tip spans due to stronger tip vortices. Investigations also ‎reveal the criticality of the downwind region on the overall performance at high tip speed ratios. It is observed that by ‎increasing the height, the tip vortices are limited to the tip sections, and stall vortices expand further ‎along the blade. At TSR = 1, the improvement by J-type blades rises from 10% at a height of 0.8 m to 44% ‎at 3 m. The growth in height at lower wind speeds becomes more beneficial. Compared to the straight blades, the self-starting ‎generated torque by J-type blades for heights of 0.8, 1.2, and 1.6 m, are improved by 15.6%, ‎‎26.9%, and 34.7%, respectively. Overall, it is concluded that by increasing the blade height, the superiority ‎of the J-type blade becomes more noticeable as the blade mainly contributes to suppressing the stall ‎vortices effect where the tip vortices effect is not presented. ‎</p>","PeriodicalId":11673,"journal":{"name":"Energy Science & Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ese3.1892","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142560532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These challenges can result in operational instability, particularly noticeable in large turbines. Pressure pulsation is crucial for turbine stability, and alterations in overflow component profiles caused by sediment erosion can worsen pressure pulsations. This study utilizes numerical simulations to analyze turbine pressure pulsations based on surface profile changes of runner buckets after 2 and 4 years of sediment erosion in a single 500 MW large-scale Pelton turbine. Our findings reveal that erosion leads to a gradual decrease in pressure pulsation along the bucket's splitting edge from the notch to the root. After 4 years of erosion and wear, the relative pressure pulsation amplitude in the root region increased by more than 530%. Additionally, changes occur in the thickness of the water film in the erosion area on the working surface, disrupting the flow pattern and generating more vortices. This occurrence intensifies the relative pressure pulsation amplitude and reduces bucket stability. The study findings highlight the significant impact of sediment erosion on Pelton turbine pressure pulsation, posing a considerable risk to the unit's operational stability and safety.</p>","PeriodicalId":11673,"journal":{"name":"Energy Science & Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ese3.1858","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142560533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The conclusions are as follows: (1) The carbon footprint increased over the years. The spatial distributions of carbon footprints at the three scales are not only consistent but also different. The study of carbon footprints at the county scale is more conducive to the summary of the spatiotemporal evolution and the formulation of detailed emission reduction schemes.

This article proposes advanced, data-driven approaches for estimating the RUL of wind turbine high-speed shaft bearings, utilizing cutting-edge techniques such as long short-term memory (LSTM), bidirectional LSTM (BiLSTM), gated recurrent units (GRU), and random forest (RF) algorithms. Our analysis leverages vibration data from a 2 MW wind turbine equipped with a 20-tooth pinion gear, providing a thorough validation and comparison of these methodologies against traditional models. Our results reveal that the LSTM and BiLSTM models excel in both accuracy and computational efficiency for predicting RUL and enhancing system prognosis, surpassing the performance of conventional RF and GRU methods.
