Research on efficiency test of a turbine in Khan Khwar hydropower station
نویسندگان
چکیده
The efficiency test is an important indicator to evaluate the energy conversion performance of a hydraulic turbine. For hydropower stations which do not have the direct flow measurement conditions, whether the characteristic curve of a turbine obtained through similarity theory conversion by using the comprehensive characteristic curve of the turbine can correctly reflect the operating performance of the prototype unit is a key issue in this industry. By taking the No.1 unit of Khan Khwar hydropower station as the example, the efficiency test of this turbine was studied on the site, including the measurement method of test parameters, the configuration of the computer test system, as well as the processing and analysis of test data.

Modification 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 کاملSediment Erosion in Hydraulic Turbines
Sediment erosion not only reduces efficiency and life of hydropower turbines but also causes problems in operation and maintenance. Several factors are responsible for this erosion in hydro turbine components. This paper presents the sediment erosion types in hydraulic turbines and their components based upon an extensive literature review and the field observation at Cahua hydropower plant, Pe...

متن کاملCost analysis of pump as turbine for pico hydropower plants – a case study
The energy scenario in rural, remote and hilly areas of India is characterized by inadequate, poor and unreliable supply of energy services. In such regions, the load density is low and extension of grid system is totally uneconomical, hence the small hydropower schemes can provide a solution for the energy problems besides solar photovoltaic, which is not available throughout the day. The main...
