In the unit, the front and the rear runners counter-drive the inner and the outer armatures of the generator, respectively. Besides, the flow runs in the axial direction at the rear runner outlet while the flow has not the swirling component at the front runner inlet, because the angular momentum change through the rear runner must coincides with that through the front runner. Such operations are suitable for bidirectional flows, namely working at the seashore with the rising and the falling tidal ranges, and the unit may be able to take place of the traditional bulb type turbines. To promote more the tidal power generation by this type unit, the runners were modified so as to be suitable for both rising and falling flows. The hydraulic performances are acceptable and take the optimum efficiency at the on-cam operation, while the trailing profiles of the runner blades determine mainly the theoretical output.展开更多

In the unit, the front and the rear runners counter-drive the inner and the outer armatures of the generator, respectively. Besides, the flow direction at the rear runner outlet must coincide with the direction at the front runner inlet, because the angular momentum change through the rear runner must coincides with that through the front runner. In this paper, the tandem runners work at on-cam conditions in keeping the induced frequency constant, to provide the hydroelectric unit for the power grid system. The output and the hydraulic efficiency are affected by the adjusting angles of the front and the rear blades. Both optimum angles giving the maximum output or efficiency were presented at the various discharge/head circumstances, accompanying with the turbine performances.展开更多
