Hydrotechnical Construction Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The data obtained should be used when modernizing turbines at existing low-head stations; analogous investigations of other types of turbines with higher heads should be carried out.

  2. 2.

    To create improved and more economical large high-speed turbines and to determine the conditions of applicability of vertical and horizontal bulb units, it is required to conduct comprehensive investigations for optimization and technicoeconomic comparison of units with consideration of all factors determining the reliability and economy of the hydrodevelopment as a whole and operating stability of the power system.
