Firstly, a novel fractional-order nonlinear mathematical model of a Francis hydro-turbine governing system with complex penstocks is built from an engineering application perspective. This model is described by state-space equations and is composed of the Francis hydro-turbine model, the fractional-order complex penstocks model, the third-order generator model, and the hydraulic speed governing system model. Based on stability theory for a fractional-order nonlinear system, this study discovers a basic law of the bifurcation points of the above system with a change in the fractional-order a. Secondly, the stable region of the governing system is investigated in detail,and nonlinear dynamical behaviors of the system are identified and studied exhaustively via bifurcation diagrams, time waveforms, phase orbits, Poincare maps, power spectrums and spectrograms. Results of these numerical experiments provide a theoretical reference for further studies of the stability of hydropower stations.展开更多

With a huge comprehensive benefit from flood control, power generation and navigation improvement, TGP, when completed, will exert a significant influence on the socio economic development across the Yangtze Basin and all China. Decisions on key technical issues concerning the construction of TGP were made on a huge number of scientific tests and verifications. The structural pattern selection of the penstock and the spiral case in the TGP power station is not only an important technical and economic issue, but also relating to the long term operation of the power station itself.展开更多
