The organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is an efficient technology for electricity generation from low- and medium-temperature heat sources. In this type of power cycle, the radial inflow turbine is the option usually selected ...

A flow model is formulated to investigate the hydrodynamic structure of the boundary layers of incompressible fluid in a rotating cylindrical cavity with steady radial inflow. The model considers mass and momentum transfer ...

Operating wind power generation system at optimal power point is essential which is achieved by employing a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control strategy. This literature focuses on developing a novel particle ...

The use of renewable energies has been a practical and efficient solution for the application in several areas. Vertical wind turbines are mainly used to behave better in turbulent winds and emit low noise levels compared ...

Wind turbines are machines capable of transforming wind kinetic energy into electricity. The turbine blades are responsible for converting aerodynamic forces into torque for the generator. In most cases, blades are made ...

It is widely accepted that the integration of natural sources in distribution networks is becoming more attractive as they are sustainable and nonpolluting. This paper rstly proposes a modi ed Manta Ray Foraging Optimizer ...

This paper proposes a new methodology to evaluate the technical state of a Francis turbine installed in a hydroelectric plant by coupling computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and rotor-dynamic analysis. CFD simulations ...
