Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method of controlling a pump turbine by changing the direction of the impeller to function as a pump and turbine (by changing the direction of rotation of the impeller). Background technique
[0002] Generally speaking, for pump turbines, especially those with high head, the impeller can be designed to obtain a sufficient centrifugal pumping effect, so as to obtain a higher pressure head during pumping operation.
[0003] However, this design will have adverse effects on the turbine working conditions of the pump turbine. Especially when, for example, so-called S-characteristics occur, it is said that it is difficult to completely avoid such S-characteristics.
[0004] It has been recognized that, especially for high head pump turbines, the S characteristic is a bottleneck (weak link) in the internal design, installation height, etc. of the upstream and downstream waterways. Therefore, there have been various scheme...
