In each time step, HOMER calculates the electrical power output of the Hydro turbine using the following equation:
where: |
||
Phyd |
= power output of the hydro turbine [kW] |
|
ηhyd |
= hydro turbine efficiency [%] |
|
ρwater |
= density of water [1000 kg/m3] |
|
g |
= acceleration due to gravity [9.81 m/s2] |
|
hnet |
= effective head [m] |
|
= hydro turbine flow rate [m3/s] |
