Study operating modes of long penstock hydropowers hydroelectric and renewable subject

Abstract

     The particular traits of long penstock hydropowers are quite much hydraulic losses when operator with maximum capacity that reduces water use efficiency in electricity generation, especially in water scarce period. The object of study is from the project characteristic and performance characteristic of the hydropower equipments; through analytical modeling calculations to simulate the operating modes to ensure the goal of improving turbine efficiency, reducing hydraulic losses in the system of water conduct constructions, while ensuring increased output electricity generation at peak hours, to increase financial performance for investors and reduce stress during peak hours for electric system will reduce costs of machine installation for electricity system.
