High efficiency, immediate availability, and safe operation of hydroelectric power plants are the three key issues in recent developments in the hydropower sector. This book brings together the latest achievements addressing these key factors. In addition, one contribution deals with the alternative harvesting of hydro energy from pivoted cylinders by generating flow-induced vibrations, which are unwanted phenomena in classical pump-turbine units.Environmental science, engineering and technologybicsscTechnology: general issuesbicsscair cushion surge tank (ACST)air friction modelannular sealcalculation modelCFDcomputational fluid dynamicscross sectiondifferencesdynamic coefficientsefficiencyFIVflexible hydro power plantsflow patternsflow rate measurementsfluid forcesFrancis turbinegeometryGibson methodhydraulic efficiencyhydropowermanifoldsmechanistic modelnonlinear dynamic modelOpenHPLpenstocksperformance testspivoted cylinderpressure pipelinespressure pulsationspressure-time methodpump as turbine (PAT)pump-turbinerenewable energyreversible hydraulic machinesrunaway transient processS-shaped characteristicssimilaritiesstatic eccentricitythermodynamic methodturbineVIVvolumetric gauging methodwater-hammerEnvironmental science, engineering and technologyTechnology: general issuesAdamkowski Adamedt1302228Bergant AntonedtAdamkowski AdamothBergant AntonothBOOK9910585945703321Advanced Technologies in Hydropower Flow Systems3026274UNINA
