APPLYING DIGITAL CONTROL OF THE DISCHARGE IN HYDRAULIC MODELS

Roman Klasinc, Andrej Predin, Mitja Kastrevc
Abstract:
Investigations of the dynamic processes in hydraulic models of hydro plants showed that the control over the water supply is essential. Transient events, that is, the start or stop of the turbines or pumps must be simulated. Especially, in pumped storage plants we have to investigate transient operations which are evolving from the rapid changes between the pumping and the generating mode. In hydraulic models there are also cases of repeated operation (danger of resonance) that have to be simulated. For the simulation of the pump or turbine an experimental unit was built. With this unit a high flexibility of the parameter in the time diagram was achieved.
