  1. 1. Pilot Study: Test Rig for Self-lubricating Kaplan Runner Bearings

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Bhairav Khadke; [2023]
    Keywords : Hydropower; Kaplan turbine; Self-lubricating bearing Test rig. Hydropower; Kaplan turbine; Self-lubricating bearing Test rig.; Vattenkraft; Kaplanturbin; Självsmörjande lager Testrigg.;

    Abstract : Hydropower has a relatively small impact on the climate and contributes to almost half of Sweden’s electricity production. Vattenfall own and operate roughly 125 large scale hydro power units of which about half utilizes a Kaplan turbine. READ MORE

  3. 2. Fish Friendly Turbines forDownstream Migration : Literature review and case studies

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Signe Rosenblad; [2023]
    Keywords : Downstream passage solutions; downstream migration of fish; small-scale hydropower; eel; trout; Nedströms passagelösningar; nedströms vandring av fisk; småskalig vattenkraft; ål; öring;

    Abstract : As the energy consumption is constantly increasing, the demand of renewable energy is increasing too. Thirtythree percent of the renewable energy production in Europe constitutes of hydropower. Hydropower is animportant energy source as it has stabilizing and storing functions, but it heavily affects biodiversity. READ MORE

  4. 3. Visions of the Future: An exploration of the visual and thematic worlds of Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Filmvetenskap

    Author : Elisabet Åberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Blade Runner; postmodernism; capitalist realism; cyberpunk; film science; filmvetenskap.; Languages and Literatures;

    Abstract : This essay examines the relationship between the two feature-length Blade Runner films, placing a certain focus on areas of aesthetic, design, and thematic content with the aim of reaching new insights into the social, cultural, and ideological contexts in which the films were made. Each subchapter explores the films from a different perspective leading up to chapter IV, in which I consider the films in relation to the cultural theory of capitalist realism. READ MORE

  5. 4. Developement of a numeric tool for fatigue life evaluation of the regulating mechanism in Kaplan runners

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Emil Treitler; [2022]
    Keywords : Fatigue; Kaplan; Hydropower; Turbine;

    Abstract : Kaplan turbines are a type of hydropower turbine with adjustable runner blades. This allows the turbine to alter its power output while maintaining a relatively high efficiency over a wide range of power levels. But these frequent blade angel adjustments exposes the turbines internal mechanism to wear and the possibility of fatigue failure. READ MORE

  6. 5. Preliminary simulation of Porjus U9 turbine at speed no load

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Henrik Holmström; [2019]
    Keywords : Kaplan; Speed no-load; SNL;

    Abstract : Hydropower plants are shifting towards operating at off-designed conditions, meaning that the number of start-stop cycles and maintenance time due to cavitation increases. The speed no-load condition is the moment before magnetization of the generator, i.e., no load, low flow, constant runner rotational speed, guide vane and runner blade angle. READ MORE
