Development of a 1-D Performance Prediction Model for Pumps as Turbines

Development of a 1-D Performance Prediction Model for Pumps as Turbines

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 t...
