CFD Investigation of the Hydraulic Short-Circuit Mode in the FMHL/FMHL+ Pumped Storage Power Plant

The flexibility of the FMHL+ pumped storage power plants can be improved by extending the hydraulic short-circuit operating mode. CFD simulations of the flow in three bifurcations are performed to calculate the head losses and to investigate the flow topology in the pipes. A specific attention is pa...
