Calculator for some Design Parameters of Pumped Storage Plants

A new software to calculate Specific Speed,Submergence and Overall Efficiency of Pumped Storage Plant was developed recently.

Some important design parameters for Pumped Storage Plants can be Calculated with the help of this software.

The software can help students,researchers,engineers to calculate the specific speed,submergence,Potential of Cavitation in the flow and efficiency of pumped storage plants along with the L/h ratio to find the economic requirements of the plant with the help of Normal Speed,Generation and Pump Efficiency along with gross head. 

This calculator can calculate :

Specific Speed
Submergence
Cavitation Potential
Frictional Head Loss
Overall Efficiency of Pumped Storage Plants

If the following inputs are given :

Speed,Gross Head and Discharge for Specific Speed
Specific Speed,Gross Head for Submergence
Barometric Head,Suction Head,Effective Head for Cavitation Potential
Length of the Tail Race,Effective Head,Friction Factor for Frictional Head Loss
Pump and Generation Efficiency along with Gross Head and k for Overall Efficiency of Pumped Storage Plants

How to use ELECTRE to solve water and energy management problems ?

ELECTRE is ​widely used to ​solve problems ​from water and ​energy ​management.This ​tutorial shows ​how to work ​with ELECTRE ​method such ​that the ​readers can use ​this method to ​solve water ​related ​decision making ​problems. ​ELECTRE  ​is an ​outranking ​method where ​options ​outranked each ​other and the ​best option ​remains.Here ​both concordance ​and discordance ​index was used ​to find the ​outranking ​criteria. ​ For application ​of ELECTRE in ​Water Resource ​Management you ​may refer to ​the following ​publications : ​ Raju, K.S., ​Duckstein, L. & ​Arondel, C. ​Multicriterion ​Analysis for ​Sustainable ​Water Resources ​Planning: A ​Case Study in ​Spain. Water ​Resources ​Management 14, ​435–456 (​2000). ​https://doi.​org/10.1023/A:​1011120513259 Rogers, M., ​Bruen, M. and ​Maystre, L. Y.: ​2000, ELECTRE ​and decision ​support methods ​and applications ​in engineering ​and infrastructure ​investment, ​Kluwer Academic ​Publishers, The ​Netherlands. ​ Duckstein, ...

Latest News from Water Energy and Informatics World in the last 15 days of November 2024

For the full Podcast : Click Here (00:00:01): Hello and welcome to another edition of Hydrogeek Podcast. (00:00:09): So today I will discuss about 10 most significant news of the first week of (00:00:15): December 2024 from the world of water, (00:00:20): power and informatics. (00:00:24): Now, although I am (00:00:27): I am referring it as first week of December but actually these news are collected (00:00:33): from the last 15 days of the month of November okay so I think rather than (00:00:43): referring it as first week of December let me refer it as the last fortnight (00:00:59): of November 2024. (00:01:11): So let us begin. (00:01:18): The first news is University of South Florida scientists used the Chris Hazard app (00:01:30): to analyze real-time flooding in Pinellas County and Hillsborough County during Hurricanes, (00:01:40): Helene and Milton. (00:01:43): The app, (00:01:43): developed in collaboration with Georgia Tech, (00:01:47): uses volunteered geographical informatio...
