Francis turbine, a reaction type and medium head turbine is most widely used in hydropower
plants to generate electricity due to its wide range of operation. Cavitation erosion and silt …

One of the major drawbacks of having a hybrid cross-flow hydrokinetic turbine (HKT) is the
alternative nature (positive and negative) of instantaneous torque generation by blades over …

A cross-flow HKT can be deployed in rivers and canals having a shallow depth of water to
harness the kinetic energy from free stream water. Few studies have been carried out on the …

A hybrid hydrokinetic turbine can become an efficient converter to harness the untapped
hydrokinetic energy of small-scale hydro potentials sites such as canals and rivers …

Hybrid hydrokinetic turbine (HKT) performance can be maximized with the right design and
flow characteristics, but they can only be determined through a methodical process …

Cavitation is an important issue in pumped storage unit as it can compromise the safe and
stable operation of the unit. The present work aims revealing the dynamic behavior of a …

In wind turbine the optimization techniques are implemented to maximize the instantaneous
power output and minimizing the structural fatigue loading. The maximum power output at …

Francis turbines are commonly used for water energy utilization in medium-to high-head
sections. The high head may cause strong flow-induced noise problems and adverse effects …

A hybrid rotor can self-start on its own with better performance than a single hydrokinetic
turbine rotor. This makes the hybrid rotor employable to tap the available potential of flow in …

The Francis turbines are often operated at the part load (PL) conditions to meet the electricity
demand while maintaining system stability. During PL operations, the turbine experiences …
