Maximum Flow Rate

HOMER Logo

Type:	Intermediate Variable
Units:	m3/s
Symbol:

The maximum flow rate is the maximum allowable flow rate through the hydro turbine. HOMER calculates the maximum flow rate of the hydro turbine using the following equation:

equations_Qdot_max

where:
	wmax	= the hydro turbine's maximum flow ratio [%]
		= the hydro turbine's design flow rate [m3/s]

HOMER uses this value to calculate the hydro turbine flow rate in each time step.
