Storage tunnels to mitigate hydropeaking

Activity: Talk or presentation › Talk at conference or symposium › Science to science

Description

The optimization of hydraulic systems in diversion tunnel power plants can provide significant economic and ecological benefits. By designing these systems as storage tunnels with differential surge tanks, power plants can be improved to handle surge and sunk compensation to mitigate hydropeaking by optimizing the associated construction costs, allowing for increased flexibility and improved storage management.
