Hydraulic Transient of Hydropower Station and Pump Station
This special issue belongs to the section "Hydraulics and Hydrodynamics".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydraulic machinery and systems are the key components for the sustainable development of energy and water resources including various transport process of liquids. The hydropower station and pump station are the two typical hydraulic machinery systems. By using hydraulic turbine, pump and pipeline system, the hydropower station and pump station realize the energy conversion and fluid transportation. With the rapid development of hydroelectric energy and water resources allocation, more and more hydropower stations and pump stations are established all over the world. The energy structure and utilization factor of water resources are significantly optimized and improved.
The hydropower station and pump station are complicated hydraulic systems. The design, operation and maintenance of hydropower station and pump station are based on the calculation and analysis of hydraulic transient. The research achievements provide a basis and guidance for the safe, stable and efficient operation of hydropower station and pump station. The hydraulic transient and control are the key aspects for the design, operation and maintenance of hydropower station and pump station.
We would like to invite papers dealing with the theories, technologies and applications of hydraulic transient of hydropower station and pump station. Specific topics include but are not limited to:
- Numerical simulation of hydraulic transient processes;
- Model experiment of hydraulic transient processes;
- Dynamic behavior of hydraulic system;
- Hydraulic design and optimization of pipeline system;
- Operation rules of valves and gates;
- Transient processes for hydraulic, mechanical and electrical coupling system;
- Control strategies for safe, stable and efficient operation;
- System stability and load frequency control;
- Pressure reduction facilities and measures;
- Vibration mechanism and damping;
- Modeling and simulation of unsteady flow;
- Control optimization of speed regulating system;
- Hydraulic characteristics of turbine and pump;
- Pumped and energy storage.
