Optimum turbine gate operation to minimize speed change in an hydraulic turbine

This thesis examines the influence of different gate operation curves on the surplus or deficiency of energy input to a hydraulic turbine accompanying a sudden change of load on the turbine. A general solution to the problem is obtained by evaluating the energy input to the penstock and the energy c...
