Investigation on the Impact of Air Admission in a Prototype Francis Turbine at Low-Load Operation
Due to significant changes in the energy system, hydraulic turbines are required to operate over a wide power range. In particular, older turbines which are not designed for these environments will suffer under off-design conditions. In order to evaluate whether or not such a turbine could fulfill t...
