    摘要: The invention concerns a method for starting a hydroelectric turbine (10) in a pumping mode, said turbine being provided with a runner (6) mechanically coupled to a shaft line (8) and a variable speed electric motor connected to a grid, a distributor (4) comprising guide vanes to control a flow of water to said runner, the method comprising:



    a) a step of operating the variable speed motor at least partly at fixed speed, said guide vanes being only partially opened, and of defining or calculating:

    data of a plurality of hydraulic characteristics (C1, C2, Ci) of the turbine for an operation without cavitation;
    data of an operation range of the electric motor, giving the speed of the motor as a function of its power;


    b) then a step of operating the turbine in a power control mode.

    摘要: An energy generating device for generating energy from a flowing fluid, especially from a wind flow and/or from a water flow, comprises: a rotation body, the rotation body extending along an axis of rotation between a first point and a second point and the rotation body being adapted to rotate about the axis of rotation and the rotation body being formed from at least a first, a second, and a third rotation segment, wherein the rotation segments are joined together and arranged along the axis of rotation, and they form a region at least partly surrounded by fluid, wherein the second rotation segment is situated between the first and the third rotation segment and has a different diameter than the first and third rotation segment; and a generator device mechanically connected to the rotation body, wherein the generator device is adapted to generate energy which is produced from the rotation of the rotation body.
