Evaluation of the Fluid Model Approach for the Sizing of Energy Storage in Wave-Wind Energy Systems. Analysis of the Potential for Use of Floating Photovoltaic Systems on Mine Pit Lakes: Case Study at the Ssangyong Open-Pit Limestone Mine in Korea. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal. In this study, a Francis turbine with specific speed of 130 m-kW was designed on the basis of the port area and loss analysis. The results show that the effect of the port area of runner blade on the flow exit angle from runner passage is significant. In this study, a new method on basis of the port area and loss analysis to design a Francis turbine runner was developed for the Miryang power station in Korea. The meridional shape of the runner was designed on the basis of the combination of the guide vane loss analysis and experience.

Machine Learning for Hydraulic Francis Runner Design Optimization

https://blog.adtechnology.com/machine-learning-hydraulic-turbine-francis-runn…

# Machine Learning for Hydraulic Francis Runner Design Optimization. A new methodology uses **3D Inverse Design** technology coupled with **Reactive Response Surface (RRS) Machine Learning** to rapidly optimize Francis hydraulic turbine runners. This approach requires only **10 input parameters** to explore a vast design space and, in just a few hours, discovered optimized designs that showed significant performance gains, including **5-9 percentage points higher efficiency** and an **8-28% increase in shaft power** over the baseline model. In this blog we look at how ADT’s Reactive Response Surface + CAE technology (RRS+CAE) is driving better hydraulic turbine design through Machine Learning. ## • The Francis Runner performance challenge - and the solution • Where to start - Generate a meanline Francis runner design • 3D Inverse Design is the enabling technology for Machine Learning • How to establish a baseline for turbine performance • Optimization of a Francis runner via Machine Learning • RRS gives design choices and performance gains • Final validation of the Machine Learning solution • Conclusions.
