Femkuber has recently contributed to an article in the Wave and Tidal Magazine:
Hydro power plant calculations
Femkuber has now developed the capability of high accuracy hydro power plant calculations as part of our long and close cooperation with Tidetec. This includes:
- Determination of turbine operational mode for maximum energy production based on available Hill-charts
- Tidal power plant production schemes by 0D-simulations (aka Flat Estuary Model)
The above capabilities can be used to compare turbine options (Francis/Kaplan/Pelton), establish turbine dimensions, energy output and so on for any hydro power plant configuration.
