Pressure Fluctuations in the S-Shaped Region of a Reversible Pump-Turbine
Numerical simulations were performed to investigate pressure fluctuations in the S-shaped region of a pump-turbine model. Analyses focused on pressure fluctuations in the draft tube and in the gap between the guide vanes and runner. Calculations were made under six different operating conditions with a constant guide vane opening, and the best efficiency point, runaway point, and low-discharge ...
متن کاملThree-dimensional transient simulation of a prototype pump-turbine during normal turbine shutdown
Three-dimensional numerical simulations are carried out by commercial software STAR-CCM+ to investigate the hydraulic transient and flow behaviours of a prototype pump-turbine during the normal shutdown process. The global characteristics and pressure fluctuations are analysed as the pump-turbine runs through the turbine mode, into the turbine braking mode, and finally into the reversed pump mo...
متن کاملModification of pump as turbine as a soft pressure reduction systems (SPRS) for utilization in municipal water network
Pressure Reducing Valves (PRV) are being used for decreasing the existing extra pressure in the water distribution network. however, they dissipate a considerable amount of energy. Therefore, the idea of application of Soft Pressure Reducing Systems (SPRS) is proposed, where a PRV is replaced by a hydropower station. The heart of An SPRS is the turbo-generator. One of the advantages of this typ...
متن کاملNumerical optimization of guide vanes and reducer in pump running in turbine mode
The main limitation of centrifugal pump running in turbine mode is lower efficiency at part load operating conditions as compared to conventional hydro turbines. To enhance the utilization of pump as turbine (PAT) in mini/micro hydropower plants, it is very important to improve its performance with some low cost modifications. The part load efficiency of PAT can be improved by guiding the flow ...
متن کاملHysteresis Characteristic in Hump Region of a Pump-Turbine Model
The hump characteristic is one of the major instabilities in pump-turbines. When pumpturbines operate in the hump region, strong noise and serious fluctuations could be observed, which are harmful to the safe and stable operations and even destroy the whole unit as well as water conveyance system. In this paper, a low specific speed (nq = 36.1 min−1) pump-turbine model was experimentally invest...
