Abstract

Due to the rapid development of large thermal power stations and nuclear power stations, it requires that the power grid should provide greater capability and flexibility. Security, stability, and economy in operation should also be taken into consideration. The pumped storage power station which has double peak regulating capability is a good choice to realize this goal. However, the existence of S shape characteristic of a pump turbine in generating mode at off-design condition makes it difficult to connect to the power grid. So it is necessary to analyze the reason of S shape characteristic in pump turbine by experimental investigation and numerical simulations. To achieve the above-mentioned object, numerical simulations of a pump turbine’s internal flow field were performed. The generating mode was analyzed by unsteady computational fluid dynamics simulation. The evolution of flow details in runner regions under the S shape characteristic conditions was observed by changing the guide vane opening. The unsteady flow structure and load on the blades in regions of S shape characteristic were obtained, which will contribute to the design of hydro-turbine.
