  • Method for orientating the blades of a turbine
    Patent number: 11067053
    Abstract: This method is for orientating the blades (40) of a turbine (4) past a non-reachable range of positions (?1, ?2) in a power plant (2), said blades (40) being rotatable around orientation axes (X40) distinct from a rotation axis (X) of the turbine (4), the turbine (4) comprising means (42, 44, 46) for orientating the blades (40), said means being adapted to exert an adjustable torque on the blades (40).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 9, 2017
    Date of Patent: July 20, 2021
    Assignee: GE Renewable Technologies
    Inventors: Alain Mathieu, Antoine Bombenger
  • Turbine unit for hydraulic installation
    Patent number: 10961978
    Abstract: A turbine unit for a hydraulic installation, and more in particular it deals with the hub of the turbine unit. The present invention proposes to provide means for adjusting a gap extent formed between the hub and the inner edge of the blade, this way dramatically increasing the performance of the turbine.
