Numerical Fatigue Analysis of a Prototype Francis Turbine Runner in Low-Load Operation

Depending on a dynamical energy market dominated by the influence of volatile energies, the operators of hydro-power plants are forced to extend the operating range of their hydraulic machines to stay competitive. High flexibility towards low-load, a rising number of start-ups and fast response time...
