Head Loss Table

Significant head loss in hydropower systems can be caused by friction in the pipes connecting reservoir and turbines (conveyance loss). This can be included in the simulation by enabling ‘Use Head loss table’ and specifying the head loss table (head loss Hydropower00016.jpg as a function of discharge Q) - by clicking on the 3dotbutton00019.png button to select an existing table or to create a new table.

Specifications of a head loss table is optional, and if no table is provided, head loss will not be taken into account.
