Hydraulic Turbine Model Virtual Grid Tab
The hydraulic turbine tab provides access to the settings panel for a non-linear Francis hydraulic turbine.
The polynomial order 3Q (G) links water flow Q to the main servomotor position G, according to the following formula:
- Q(G) = AG3 + BG2 + CG + D
where: A = VG – Q(G) ^ 3; B = VG – Q(G) ^ 2; C = VG – Q(G) ^ 1; D = VG – Q(G) ^ 0
