EFFICIENCY MEASUREMENT, CONTROL AND EVALUATION

K. Käfer, H.-B. Matthias

Abstract

At the Institute for Waterpower and Pumps we use PC-aided measurement and controlling on a test rig for pelton turbines. The results of the measuring are the efficiency hill (a 3D-surface over the operation range for the turbine). A new method for evaluation this efficiency characteristic from the measuring data was developed. The paper reports on the test rig and the software developed for control, measurement and evaluation.
