    摘要: The world is being subjected to droughts that lower the lakes that provide the water for hydropower electricity production. Cities and towns around the dams also consume the water. At a certain point, the water level is too low for the dam to generate power. Hydropower Water Source Modification is a solution to this dilemma. A main piping loop from the output of the water after it passes through the turbine that spins the generator is connected to a high powered water pump at either the base of the dam and/or at the top of the dam. The piping loop is then connected to the intake of the penstock and completes the loop. The power supplied to the water pumps can be from one or more sources.

    摘要: A system for energy storage and electricity generation is described. The system includes an energy storage system providing compressed air and an electricity generation system. The electricity generation system includes an airlift pumping system pneumatically coupled to the energy storage system. The airlift pumping system includes a water collecting tank containing collecting water and a riser tube having a base immersed in the collecting water and configured for injection of the compressed air into the riser tube through the air pipeline to provide air bubbles within the riser tube that produce an upward flow of the collecting water together with the air bubbles. The electricity generation system also includes a hydro-electric power system driven by upward flow of the collecting water together with the air bubbles to produce electricity, and a water heating system for heating the collecting water in the water collecting tank.

    摘要: In one implementation, a hydropower module for use in a flowing body of water is described. The module includes an axle and a plurality of paddle fans rotatably coupled to the axle and having a paddle fan rotation. Each paddle fan of the plurality of paddle fans includes a plurality of blades configured to be driven by the body of water. The plurality of paddle fans are oriented in an arc wherein the blades of adjacent paddle fans are closer together at a top of the paddle fan rotation than at a bottom of the paddle fan rotation.

    摘要: A compression system includes a compressor with adjustable inlet guide vanes (IGVs) and variable stator vanes (VSVs) that are adjustable independently of each other. IGV and VSV control units produce respective IGV and VSV reference commands responsive to respective first and second inputs that may be responsive to measured properties of the compression system. The second input may be provided by a model of the compressor or of the compression system responsive to measured properties. The second input may particularly be an estimate of a property not directly observable, such as stall margin or efficiency.
