We are pleased to announce the publication of an article by Jaberg & Partner in the current issue of “The International Journal on Hydropower & Dams” with the title ‘Runner optimisation for climate-related changes in the operation of hydro plants’.
The article highlights the increasing impact of climate change on hydropower plants, which can lead to erosion but also cavitation problems due to changed operation conditions, among other things. In particular, this exposes the runners of turbines to increasing loads of various kinds.
This article uses three reference projects to show how customised runners can be designed for rehabilitation projects in order to prevent damage and increase annual capacity utilisation.
