Author(s): Yongguang Cheng

Keywords: computational frameworks; hydropower; pumped storage systems

Abstract:

The topic of this lecture is the three-dimensional numerical simulation methods for transient processes in hydropower stations and pumped storage power stations, a subject that has seen significant development over the past decade. We will discuss the computational frameworks that couples one-dimensional pipe systems with three-dimensional hydraulic turbines for transient process analysis. The lecture will also introduce the applications of this method in investigating several key mechanistic issues in hydropower and pumped storage systems, present case studies for demonstrating its utility in solving practical engineering problems, and conclude with an outlook on future research directions.
