Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The efficiency of the Palmiet pump turbine was improved through the application of an integrated numerical system. The article explains the procedure used on a low speed pump turbine with a head of 300 m and output of 250 Mw. Principal results of the preliminary computation are compared with model measurements. The procedure was applied to the Palmiet pumped storage plant, South Africa.
