The vertically curved tailrace tunnel can reduce the flow velocity, making the water flow more symmetrical as it passes through the intermediate separation pier, effectively improving the flow deviation of the middle channel. The research results can provide reference suggestions for optimizing the design of pumped storage power stations. 1.
To determine the conditions under which a pumped-storage power plant (PSPP) requires a tailrace surge chamber and to account for the time sequence superposition of water hammer vacuum, velocity head vacuum and head loss vacuum, we derived a new setting criterion using the rigid water hammer theory.
The research results show that keeping the shape of the tailrace tunnel unchanged, optimized separation piers can reduce the percentage difference in flow channel discharge from 15.93 % to 9.51 %; A vertically curved tailrace tunnel can also achieve a similar effect.
At the time point of the peak acceleration in the tail race tunnel, all pumps face a full trip and the flow direction of the pumps reverse very quickly and leads to the peak discharge of 68 l/s (220 m3/s in prototype) into the surge tank creating the massive design surge in the upper chamber.
Using a structured grid, the grid size is gradually refined in the tailrace tunnel segment and reservoir area, with a total of 40 layers in the boundary layer and a growth rate of 1.1. Due to the focus on the hydraulic characteristics near the inlet/outlet, grid refinement is required in this region.
(25) as the setting criterion of tailrace surge chambersmay have an adverse impact on the safety of PSPPs. The reason for this result is that Eq. (25) is mainly aimed at early small-capacity conventional hydropower stations, where the total closing time of guide vane ( TZ) during the load rejection is generally short.
