“…It seems that wind energy generation is one of the most crucial alternatives of reducing fossil fuel consumption which is the main source of CO 2 emissions [20]. In last decade, the cost of initial investment of wind turbines has been declined considerably due to the progress of manufacturing technologies and a high rate of demand on wind turbines resulted of this reduction.…”

“…The mechanical output power Pout at the wheel axle is still lower than P gr and P net , because different power losses occur in the wheel and headrace between the sluice gate and the wheel. Quaranta and Revelli [21] stated that six main kinds of power losses may occur in the wheel and headrace: (1) impact losses include the impact of the entry water on the blades (L imp ) and the impact of the blades on the tailrace (L t ), (2) leakage losses are water losses through the slits between the buckets and the channel (L Q ), (3) friction losses are due to mechanical friction at the shaft supports (L g ) and to drag effect of the water (contained in the buckets) on the channel bed (L bed ), (4) hydraulic losses may occur when the residual power of the water in the last bucket is lost in the tailrace (L h ) and (5)(6) there are the hydraulic (L c ) and leakage (L Qu ) losses in the headrace between the sluice gate and the wheel. P out can be calculated by:…”

“…In this revolution, energy efficiency, sustainable and low-carbon energy technologies play a crucial role. In addition, renewable energy technologies (biomass, wind, solar, hydro and geo-thermal) play an important role in addressing global energy and environmental challenges [2,3]. They are offering clean and reliable energy to reduce greenhouse gas emission that lead to global warming while saving money and creating jobs.…”
