Geometric Improvement of High-Pressure Bifurcated Pipes for Enhanced Flow and Energy Characteristics Under Hydraulic Short-Circuit Operation
Hydraulic short-circuit (HSC) operation is an important approach to enhancing the operational flexibility of pumped-storage power plants (PSPPs). However, under this new operating mode, the flow characteristics in the bifurcated pipe deteriorate significantly, posing a threat to the efficiency of the piping system and...
