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

Similarly, the polynomial order 3 P(Q) connects turbine mechanical power P to water flow Q.
