Abstract

Pumps as turbines (PaTs) are becoming more and more attractive in Small Hydropower. PaTs are considered a cost-effective alternative to conventional turbines as long as their turbine characteristic curves can be predicted. Indeed, manufacturers need of a tool that could support them to predict the turbine mode performance from the knowledge of pump characteristics, in order to be competitive on the market. In this framework, a new 1-D prediction model is proposed for manufacturers in order to predict the entire characteristic of a PaT, by taking into account detailed geometrical information of the machine, hydraulic losses and the influence of the flow deflection with respect to the outlet blade angle of the runner during turbine operation.
