Simultaneous efficiency improvement of pump and turbine modes for a counter-rotating type pump-turbine

This article presents a multi-objective optimization to improve the hydrodynamic performance of a counter-rotating type pump-turbine operated in pump and turbine modes. The hub and tip blade angles of impellers/runners with four blades, which were extracted through a sensitivity test, were optimized...
