Prototype tests and computations are carried out to investigate the hydraulic transient characteristics. The computation re-sults by using the new model are in a good agreement with the prototype test data with respect to the maximum speed of the tur-bine-generator unit, the maximum water hammer pressure in the spiral casing and the maximum vacuum in the draft tube. The propo-sed method is a significant improvement over the conventional algorithm with the accuracy increased and the error reduced by about 3%.展开更多
