One Dimensional Penstock Flow Models for Hydropower Digital Twin

Research output: Book/Report › Commissioned report

Abstract

This report details the inelastic, unsteady, one-dimensional flow equations that are used to model flow through a penstock in a hydropower facility. The flow model is coupled to a mechanistic turbine model to compute the rotation rate of the turbine, which is dependent on the flow rate, gravitational head, and various parameters of the machine, such as inlet vane angle. Results are given for an example hydropower facility in which the turbine is subjected to a specified time-varying load, and the results on the flow rate are shown. Future applications for the flow model are also briefly reviewed.
